Business Outlook
Pros
The culture, people, global scale and opportunities (albeit reducing) are some of the best reasons to work at General Electric.
Cons
The fatigue associated with 3+ years of huge change and uncertainty about the business and individuals' roles make up a big part of the downside of working at GE (but also can lead to new opportunities for those who persevere).

Thank you for your candid feedback. We agree and believe GE offers a great culture and lots of opportunities. As you said we are going through lots of changes, and we will still have lots to improve, thank you for taking the time out to review us, we value your opinion.
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.
