Avantages
Huge potential to grow within the company! The runway in GE is fairly long, and growth opportunities are definitely there if you go through the FMP program. The FMP program provides fundamental skills and technical knowledge to be highly successful in your next career step by combining real hands on training and classroom sessions. 2/3 of GE’s CFOs have graduated from this prestigious program.
Inconvénients
The program is extremely prestigious internally at GE. However, externally the FMP program is virtually unknown. Outside of the northeast area, the FMP program is non-existent and will not provide the same level of opportunities you have within GE. That being said, there is a feeling of being “trapped” at GE unless your willing to shift into the slower track externally. However, the GE name does say a lot on your resume.
