GE Healthcare Reviews

Pros

Medical equipment industry is sound reasonable reason to choose this company.

Cons

Management does not have any technical knowledge. They consider employees as robots. Management does not follow company standards and documents. They offered 2-3 weeks training, but they violate copmany rules and requirements. It is worst job I had in my more than 20 years employment history. Will not recommmend to work for this company, unless you want to go to the job like to the prison. This company has more than 100 years history how to "burn" employees.
