Pros

GE holds true to it's reputation as a leadership development factory with world class training and plenty of opportunity to challenge and grow your management skills. It remains a steadily growing business even in a tough economy.

Cons

GE talks the talk about work-life balance but the truth is to truely advance in the company it takes making work #1 in your life. It takes the combination of a special person dedicating 80+ hour work weeks and relocating every few years to move up quickly. High stress environment with little reward recognition. "Pats on the back" for a good job are few and far between.

Pros

My first job after college and my internship was a great experience. I learned a lot about medical devices and the medical device industry, and I even got promoted to site leader pretty quickly.

Cons

My training was nonexistent; I learned everything from medical device service manuals. In my region, a billion-dollar company offered no bonuses or decent pay, and the management was micromanaging and horrible.
