Just did a quick search on where GE does MBA recruiting for those interested. I'm not quite sure about other fields but in engineering, GE's reputation is not so hot compared to IBM, Intel, etc..
No doubt GE has been producing a lot of CEOs-??I tend to think that this is almost all due to Jack Welch and his management philosophy & leadership for the past two decades. I agree for the most part with HBS2003 and DC_mgr.

These numbers have shifted a bit.
In 2003, when I graduated from HBS, 5 people joined GE (in really good roles). Two of those people returned to GE, three were new to GE. Also interesting to note that my incoming HBS class had 24 former GE people, which was the second highest concentration of people from any company/firm. McKinsey was number one, with 80 former BA's making up the incoming class.
Also interesting to note that Cornell has increased its number of grads joining GE. In 2003, four Cornell grads joined GE. Now there are 8. Since 2003, the Dean of Cornell's Business School joined the GE board. Coincidence? McKinsey hired no one from Cornell in 2003, this year, I think we'll hire two Associates from JGSM.
