Pros
GE provides a stable job and a program to help new hires gain experience in the engineering world. The program allows you to rotate into any position you find interesting every year, though I hear they have plans to cut that down. Stability trumps everything here: if you are looking for a place to settle down, have kids, and then retire with little risk and no excitement or adventure, this is the place to do it.
Cons
1)The pay is well below industry standards, but they justify it by saying "you get to work on something interesting, so we can pay you less". This excuse will be used directly to you in "All Hands" meetings. 2)GE Aviation is in the Midwest (on Ohio, of all places), and thus you will constantly be surrounded by mediocrity. If you are ambitious and have the drive to be "a step above", this is definitely not the place for you. In Cincinnati, you will constantly be surrounded by people who praise mediocrity. Be prepared to be surrounded by people who: -Hang out with their high school friends (why meet new people? I'm OKAY with these ones) -Work at GE forever, though they aren't passionate about it (why find a new job? I'm okay with this one) -Marry the first person who won't dump them (Why meet someone new? I'm okay with this person) -Live in Ohio, forever (why see new places? I'm okay with this place). This mentality is poisonous. and is constantly within everything that happens. 3)This is, of course, a big company that doesn't care about the employees. Remember: the second you stop producing for them, the second they forget about you completely.
