Pros

It is true that GE offers world class training and development to build your skills and career. I have worked in the past at other Fortune 500 companies and in comparison, every GE training session has been a valuable learning. Working with bright people across the globe. Strong collaboration to not only help you succeed but solve problems.

Cons

Highly matrix, complex making it challenging to change things such as processes or getting simple things done.

Pros

Fantastic resources in training, IT, etc. Still has some of the great culture traits that made it such a fantastic company.

Cons

Traded its old values for gimmicks and lack of discipline that led to its downfall. They just have too many awful leaders.
