Pros

Smart people Variety of experiences Job security Location... presence in many different locations

Cons

Tactical, execution oriented... consumed with executing on GE Corporates initiatives Poor financial perks... stock isn't worth anything, increases are minimal Lots of relocations and you lose significant money each time (promotional increases lag loss on real estate) Top, significant HR jobs all occupied by males... and most are from outside the US working in the US Poor work life balance... they are flexible but the reality is that the company is so cost focused there is always more work than any one person can handle HR processes are centralized leaving very little room to actually develop anything significant Bureaucratic... slow moving ... risk adverse
