Pros
GE is a large company, so if you find the right place / unit some really amazing things can be achieved....but unfortunately the number idiots has increased multifold since Jack left. Nonetheless, the real GE spirit is still there, it is just harder to find under the Harvard Business School leadership of Immelt.
Cons
Culture is very political since Jack Welch left and the company no longer expects its managers to understand strategy and lead innovation,...this is now "outsourced" to McKinsey and the like. Under Immelt the name of your MBA school has become more important then what you actually know.
