Pros

The GE name on your resume. Own a product or process from beginning to end.

Cons

Lots of politics.Absolutely no training provided. Past due jobs get assigned to you. Random assignments thrown at you and are asked to figure it out at your own. No structure to the learning process. This way learning is severely affected. No guidance or support or mentoring provided to new employees. Multiple people watching over your shoulder and you are doing the job all by yourself. Constant pressuring to complete jobs by deadline (even past due jobs), doesn't matter even if there is a learning curve. People in charge don't want to listen or hear what the actual problems / issues are. They just want the job done. Extremely bureaucratic and chaotic. Disorderly and lots of confusion. Highly understaffed.

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.
