Pros

GE is a great place to start your career and grow. It gives you a sense of the physics and what is involved in solving a real world problem. You will see very important and challenging problems within a year of working at GE. They suspect a lot from you and you better provide them with it.

Cons

The salary is rather poor compared to companies which focus on oil and military. A raise is annually if that. Stupid people prevent the smart people from completing their jobs. Meaning a business/finance people should not be telling the engineers to throw some temperatures on the metal and get it out the door.

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.
