Pros

Great benefits at a low cost to employee, Worldwide name recognition, Very diversified company

Cons

Too much overkill...ie., too much time wasted on some overkill positions from people trying to justify their positions and existence within the company, "Permit to Work", "JSA's", "RWA's", "SRA's", "Scorecards", "NPF Scores" on and on and on. To conduct a 10 minute job, this administrative overhead takes that 10 minute job and turns it into a 2 hour job, thereby costing the company money as contractors sit around waiting to get started to do the task they were hired to do. Management actually stated outloud "I Just Don't Know How Anything Gets Done Without All These Meetings"!! Read that again, that's not a typo. That's our actual mentality, and they wonder why people won't stay. Their attitude is that you shouldn't have a family or life outside of GE, that you should willingly devote your extra time on your low salary for the good of "The Business".

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.
