Pros

Good place to work. Provided solid work experience in the biomedical field. Improved my knowledge regarding statistics and test engineering. Nice Pay.

Cons

Sometimes interns didn't have much to do, but if you ask for work you will get it. Main building is large, and takes some getting used to.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very Good, Experienced & Technical People. I worked with very good team and manager. Very open culture you can reach out to anyone for anything. Work Environment is good. Good work-life balance. Good opportunities for people from embedded background. Good travelling opportunity. Good exposure as you will get the chance to directly communicate with GBU technical team. HR is really very very good. Very cooperative & maintaining environment more like a family than a company.

Cons

Not good for the people from medical imaging background. As a software engineer in medical imaging you will have work more as a system engineer, and most of the time on documentation.
