Pros

Super smart people and a lot of great technological opportunities

Cons

Leadership has become a culture and a community all on their own. Might as well not even co-mingle executives with workers. Benefits are again a dying benefit at GE. Only those at the top benefit and GE overcharges employees for their self-insured system. It has become a profit center for GE at employee expense.

GE Response

GE continues to go through a lot of change so we appreciate that the transition will be challenging for all of us. Glassdoor is just one of many platforms where we engage with past and future employees, and we think it's important to respond to questions and let you know we're listening. That said, if you have specific concerns we recommend you raise them with your manager or HR manager. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

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.
