Good company, bad matrix

Pros

GE is a good, caring company that tries to do things the right way. A lot of very talented people. Great learning environment. And today, with the need to revamp the world's energy delivery systems, it's an important place to work.

Cons

The matrix structure just does not work for all parts of the business. Organizational structures and processes that were designed for industrial businesses are not very effective for areas where agility and creativity are key (e.g., software), so there's a lot of frustration with the pace at which things get done.

Pros

GE global research is a great place to get exposed to a broad range of research. One you get in your free to try and work with other divisions.

Cons

As a contractor you are poorly compensated pay-wise compared with other places. You do not get vacation time or benefits. Can be very hierarchical and slow to respond to ideas.

Pros

GE has a vast amount of resources within the company. I was able to discuss all different types of engineering with many officials. Good programming events.

Cons

When I initially had issues with my relationship with my manager, HR was concerned but didn't follow through. Ended up as a summer where I didn't do much actual work, and just took GE's money, even after tell them that was exactly what my internship had come to.
