Pros

Stability, it takes a lot to get rid of incompetent people. If you do your job and blindly follow management dogma, you have a good chance of sticking around. The flexible work hours are nice. Decent pay and benefits. Having GE on your resume seems to impress other companies as well. There are good people in the organization, if you can look past a few bad managers.

Cons

Poor management - managers seem more interested in image and climbing the corporate ladder then actually solving problems or fostering positive change. Every decision seems to be driven by wall street with no thought to how a business or it's workers can be successful. This company does a poor job of investing back into its businesses or it's people. Training and professional development do not seem to be priorities. Technical people do not seemed to be valued. Only people on a management track.

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.
