Pros
Multi-Industrial, global organization. Global research and development network. 125+ year old institution that has worked through troubled times before. Because of its diversity, GE has positions for many different backgrounds and skills in its varied business components.
Cons
Cost cutting, reorganization, bad bets and circumspect accounting practices all indicate a downward trend for GE, The stock is down 45%+ while the market has been up the last two years. The company needs to pick a direction that works and treat its employees more like the valued talent they need to retain then disposable commodities with a 3-5 year expiration. Environment may work for the younger generation but there won't be much older talent left within the next few years.
