Pros

Decent facilities and benefits. Great history and products. Generally most staff and coworkers want to do the right thing.

Cons

This is now a company that bit off way more than it can chew. The origins of the company are fading fast and the new GE style of management is further killing the founder's dream. They could barely manage 40,000 staff and now have twice that many. Typical behaviors of unnecessary layoffs, poor managers/directors, loss of vital talent, nonexistent communication, and unnecessary complex and bureaucratic procedures.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
