Pros

positive cashflow. If GE wants to do a project, it's funded. If you're young and not well paid, it's not a bad place to begin your career. There is never a dull moment, as priorities change at the end of every quarter when the earnings statement comes out. Plenty of opportunity to learn new things, but they're all flavor of the month and will be abandoned before the technology matures, so never a need to become a real expert.

Cons

GEHC hires people in Poland and India, and then lays off mid career US employees who have been strong contributors. Leadership team cannot be trusted, and employees are not valued or grown. The only meaningful career options are with the corporate team, and the corporate team is so removed from the real business that it's a purely political organization. Contractors are commodities, but employees are moreso. When GE cuts 10 contractors, they replace with 2 employees and demand the same or more productivity. Work life balance is non-existent, and rewards for sacrificing personal life are non-existent. The only people who think GE is well managed are investors who like the dividends.
