Pros

GE is a great place to start a career. Although you wont make a ton of money right out of school, you will be able to leverage your experience into a more profitable position down the road. GE offers many leadership training options that are taught in house and can be very valuable.

Cons

GE, as a company, pretends to care about their employees but the real focus is the bottom line. Most employees have no personal stake in the company's success or failure and consequently are only motivated to advance their own career. This can foster a highly competitive hierarchy in which there exists little camaraderie.

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.
