Pros

Decent pay & benefits

Cons

Zero accountability for upper management be it for unprofessional behavior or failed results. Lack of direction from leadership. Due to the amount of reorganization & lay offs management & employees understand knowledge is power and will not share information or train new employees, creating great opportunities for suppliers & bad results for GE. Culture is broken, leadership talks about change & being open to change, but much stays the same at the top layers. The only changes that occur are in lower middle to low management staff. Layoffs occur monthly, constant staff changes makes it impossible to knowledge transfer or create a strategic plan to implement & execute so all work is transactional at best.

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.
