Pros

There is a good name that is associated with GE. That is probably the best part of working for GE. It's a well-known and steady company. There were a lot of company resources available even to an intern, such as a laptop, office, and etc. For the most part I found everyone to be extremely helpful.

Cons

Extremely unorganized. I really don't know how some of the VPs became VPs without any prior experience. A lot of politics in the office. Some of the managers really disliked one another, but I think this has become standard in offices. A lot of meetings were pointless and unproductive. No one ever listened or cared and as a result work would never be completed.

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.
