Pros
GE is a large company, and along with that comes a certain amount of security. There are a lot of opportunities to go just about anywhere in the world and work in a whole variety of jobs. Really flexible work environment and relatively good benefits.
Cons
Much of the innovation in a large company comes from acquisitions of one type or another. Therefore, much of the work is managerial or regulatory, rather than detailed design work. There are not a lot of opportunities to change the way things work because they are dictated from other parts of the organization. If you want to be a manager, this can be an ideal environment, and GE prides itself in this. If you want to be a technical designer, it is more difficult.
