Pros

You can gain lots of experience and responsibility quickly. It is a stable predictable company to work for. You can have a long career here and keep yourself busy learnign new things all the time. There are a ton of training opportunities available. GE won't make you rich, but it will pay enough that you won't be poor either.

Cons

Large beuracracy. Pay raises are small and follow strict guidelines. There is not much opportunity to increase your salary except to sit and wait as you get older and slowly collect incremental yearly raises. Getting anything done is slow and painful. I guess this can't be helped when dealing with important technology.

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.
