Pros

Large company, good benefits, fair compensation, aility to move around in same city and available to work in cross functional areas. You usually are working with excellent folks that are good at what they do.

Cons

Large company, if you are not used to being accountable for perormance get used to it here, you are ranked according to what you deliver and compared to your peers on a annual basis. In lean times and in good times the bottom 10% are laid off. Part of a larger conglomarate (GE) and we are going to be sold or spun off in the next 1-5 years depending on the economy.

Pros

You can gain lots of experience and responsibility quickly. It is a stable predictable company to work for. You can have a long career here and keep yourself busy learnign new things all the time. There are a ton of training opportunities available. GE won't make you rich, but it will pay enough that you won't be poor either.

Cons

Large beuracracy. Pay raises are small and follow strict guidelines. There is not much opportunity to increase your salary except to sit and wait as you get older and slowly collect incremental yearly raises. Getting anything done is slow and painful. I guess this can't be helped when dealing with important technology.
