Vantaggi
Paychecks are always deposited on time, and affinity groups are many. That's about all I can think of for pros.
Svantaggi
GE in New Orleans claims to have a startup feel despite being a corporate operation, but this couldn't be farther from the truth. Honesty is rare and decisions are motivated by political or individual reasons. Engineers are treated like numbers instead of people. Product work is reassigned often and rarely comes to completion with the same resources it started with, so pride in ones work is virtually impossible to attain. Financial difficulties pushed annual increases off indefinitely. Those selected for layoff and those who are underpaid often have many years of tenure over brand new employees who are kept or compensated better. Loyalty and commitment mean nothing to leadership. Focus on career advancement is non-existent, and there are no roles available for moving up. Medical benefits for family are highly expense yet the annual deductible is ridiculously high.
