Pros
GE is so large and well respected that even if you decide it's not for you and you leave after a few years, others will be impressed with your experience there based on the reputation of the company. There are many, many jobs available within the company so you could potentially make it your place to grow throughout your career.
Cons
Though the company claims to promote work life balance, it's understood that you're expected not to be a "9-5'er". Any significant advancement requires working a lot of unpaid overtime. Only those who devote almost all of their waking hours to the company have real chances of "success".
