Pros

Under Welch GE was a true meritocracy and you got the chance to stretch and grow. Impact and values determined mattered the most. I truly admired most all of my direct managers and valued their mentoring. It helped make me a confident, competent senior manager.

Cons

Under Immelt, the selection of world class senior managers deteriorated significantly. Jeff just lacks the capability to evaluate and select great senior managers. Also, career growth opportunities to move between business have become stagnant. This was at one time a source of great competitive edge for GE.

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.
