Pros
GE is a global network of professional opportunity. The company affords great benefits - including a flexible work schedule that enables one to truly work towards a healthy work/life balance. This has been key for me personally. I have been with GE for 6 years and was able to work from home for 4 of those.
Cons
Can be highly political, very intense...if one does function well in a pressure cooker then this probably wouldn't be the best work environment for him/her. As mentioned above the having the flexibility to work from how was a great perk. However, the downside is that there is never really a day off...it's a highly competitive work environment and it can be somewhat relentless. It was not uncommon to have to address work issues and to work on holidays, weekends and vacations. No one in the business ever truly shuts down or turns off work.
