Pros

Compensation was good Vast resources Interesting products Looks good on CV Some divisions treated well

Cons

Very political; as others have mentioned Run by the HR department; who don't seem to like Humans. Always short on enough resources to do the job properly and bleed the remaining team dry Very stressful environment - 6 people off with stress out of 30 people in two years Don't look after staff, treat them as commodities - staff not treated like humans No reward for long hard hours Unequal treatment of staff depending where you work Told what to put in your staff's EMS (Appraisal) Appraisal system just seems to be used to get shot of people who are deemed not to comply. Management don't want to listen to ideas outside their own. Poor life / work balance Encouraged to be like a GE robot. Full of all the write PR words but just don't live by them

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.
