Pros: Working for GE allows for a lot of opportunities to move around, especially for interns. There are a number of programs available that allow for quick advancement and rotational positions. GE is a big company, but my location felt pretty small and sedated. Being an intern, I don't really know what kind of benefits full-time employees get, but I get the impression that GE benefits are pretty decent. I liked my coworkers.

Cons: Unfortunately, as an intern, I didn't get much interesting work to do. I didn't get much real, useful experience. Employee services like Payroll and IT are centralized and/or outsourced, and are thus a nightmare to work with. It took a week or two just to get set up to use a computer, and a few more just to get a paycheck.

Pros: Great mix of sites and products. Small business and large business alike. If you want as much work as you can handle, in just about any variety, then this is the place for you for at least five years out of college.

Cons: Some of your accomplishments never really make it up the ladder because of how large the company is. Also, as an intern, going overseas is very difficult. In a large company, a lot of "bad management" can slip by without any of the executives noticing.

Pros: Great pay and benefits compared to other companies for co-op. The company takes care of its employees well. I was given much responsibility within the position and was rewarded with a pay raise halfway through my rotation.

Cons: Company can be very demanding to work for at times, which makes it especially hard if you are working in a division that is a dying business.
