Pros

Very bright people, great career opportunities and challenging jobs. For employees starting their careers it has wonderful leadership programs at entry levels that help you develop your professional skillset. The company has some of the brightest folks and a strong management bench so early on in your career you can learn and grow.

Cons

Work-life balance, highly political environment, internal promotions highly biased on network and not necessarily based on competence and skillset. GE is a demanding environment so work life balance is not part of the culture if you want to get ahead. After entry level jobs or leadership programs have been completed the career progression is heavily based on networking. People get promoted based on networking and behavior more then on their job performance, competence or skillset.

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.
