Pros

Great line on your resume, as long as the interviewer at your next company hasn't worked at GE...

Cons

Red tape, red tape, red tape - the bureaucracy has evolved into a monster preventing any flexibility in career advancement, education, or adjustment to business practice (even if that adjustment would bring on new customers and cut costs). EVERYTHING is over-promise and under-deliver, from bonuses to career advancement - management has a culture of lying to to employees and clients about everything - usually for absolutely no good reason.

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.
