Pros

GE Healthcare is great place to start as a young engineer. There are many opportunities for compensation for education expenses and my managers have been understanding when I need to take leave for an exam. The medical benefits are very good and the salary is very competitive, especially given the current economic environment. If you do a good job you can be assured of your job security. The projects I have worked on have been rewarding, which keeps work from becoming monotonous. I actually enjoy coming to work most days.

Cons

Because it is a big company, it is easy to get lost in the crowd as you scale the corporate ladder. I did not think location would be an issue, but Waukesha, WI gets really cold in the winter!

Pros

Great for gathering experience. Good Work life balance Conflicting personalities does not get you let go like other places.

Cons

Wages for non-union personnel in the Othersal band like all Techs barely keeps up with Union/Assembly Wages. Company values college far more than experience or real accomplishments, a fresh bachelors means more to them for promotions than someone who has saved over ten million dollars.
