Pros

Awesome local technology team with good work/life balance.

Cons

Commercial leaders are near sighted and play the game of only looking at one quarter at a time and continue to make choices that will make the company look good today and hurt it tomorrow. It's gotten to the point that all the bad choices are now coming back to haunt GE. Look at it's stock price. It's not the market, since all the competition has grown while GE plummets.

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.
