Pros

Interesting products (medical imaging systems) and a lot of smart people to learn from.

Cons

GE Healthcare is a large company that suffers from many of the issues typical of large companies. Some specific cons: 1) frequent reorganization / restructuring, 2) lack of visibility into other departments / groups and what work they are doing, 3) significant amount of technical debt, 4) a lot of roles and the scope of the associated work is not well defined ("who owns what"), 4) a disproportionate amount of work and resources devoted to processes rather than work that would actually move products / services forward (e.g. meetings, discussion, flowcharts, etc. on how to reduce time in meetings), 5) the compensation is actually quite low / poor for the size of the company and the skill of the employees (many of the employees could be compensated at a higher rate at a different employer), 6) for promotions, "how things look" is more important than the work actually being done; for example, talking a lot, especially to senior staff, is more likely to result in promotion than solving problems, especially if they are technical problems.

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.
