Pros

GE is a huge company with a wide range of meaningful opportunities across Transportation, Power, Medical, and Software.

There is something for everyone.

GE invests in its employees for training and development.

Cons

GE is a huge company. It is very easy to get lost in the number of employees. The ceiling of responsibility can be reached very quickly. Due to the sheer numbers of employees, management opportunity runs thin. You can be great at what you do, but never progress if your aspirations are focused on an industry or location.

Advice to Management

Management needs to find meaningful opportunities for the 20-30 year experienced employees that leverage their domain expertise.

Salary compression, where new, inexperienced employees are in the same pay grade as more experienced employees, opens the exit door for experience to walk out.
