Pros

- It is a large company with opportunities to move around to a diverse set of technologies. - The benefits are fairly good. -Good resume builder. -GE Leaders of Tomorrow is a great way to network with fellow young employees. Travel benefits are good. - Flexible work arrangements are available to those with special needs.

Cons

Pay is significantly below the industry average (in my opinion) for engineers with little to no bonuses. Work is generally focused on maximizing profit on existing technology rather than investing in innovation. Overtime pay is limited. Employees are encouraged to work casual overtime in office without compensation.

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.
