    Read the reviews before you apply for any job at GE
    The good thingsThe best thing is the perks which are better than elsewhere. Other than that, nothing much.
    The challengesThe challenges are to stay late everyday to complete your work on T-day, to deal a superior who is rather self-centred, to have a no work-life balance environment (think twice if you're married with kids and think thrice if you're single). There are more other challenges. You will understand only when you experience it first-hand.
