Some useful facts about GE
CEO factories land the best graduates right out of school, but that's largely because they have established a track record of executive success.
GE's alumni include the CEOs of Boeing (BA), Fannie Mae (FNM) and Pfizer (PFE). Other prominent GE alumni who did not make the list were Peter Loescher, CEO of German giant Siemens (a non-U.S. company) with 470,000 employees, and Tom Tiller, CEO of Polaris Industries (PII)
GE is well known for its 52-acre leadership campus, known as Crotonville.

losses. Every year, we lose people we want to keep," says P&G CEO A.G. Lafley.
