Pros

Great benefits. Good environment to learn and grow. If you are will to relocate, opportunities are endless at GE.

Cons

Looong hours. They give everyone a laptop to make sure you can work late nights. This is an environment where management will feed you projects and keep feeding them to you until you scream. It's all about doing more with less (people). Resource constrained, stretch opportunities are all key words used to describe your life at GE. Never enough people for a project, and management is always looking for team members to stretch beyond their over-burdened role into new areas.

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.
