Pros

I feel that there is no glass ceiling in GE and it has a reasonable meritocracy, since there are so many higher-level positions available. Also, the benefits are pretty good. An internship at GE is a great way to learn and I am given adequate responsibilities

Cons

"Doing more with less" seems to be the mantra at GE- I frequently see salaried workers at their desks 60-70 hours a week, while the hourly workers have paid lunch. Also, the environment is very competitive. My ideas are frequently shot down when I'm heading my own projects, but then my manager gives his own opinion for the project and thus, the new way of the project is decided.

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.
