Nice place to work, good people, but career prospects are limited
I was working as an R&D intern in GE Energy in the UK, where they design air filtration systems. I spent two of my summers there during uni, and my time there was very positive. I had a great team of guys who were willing to help in every aspect for me to familiarize myself with the company. They helped me with my work and understanding company procedures. Most of the engineers and managers had a bachelor's degree, and some of them had done apprenticeships. This was well reflected in the general culture: no 'I know it all and you are just a student' attitude, but always a genuine interest in my own opinion, work, and future plans.
I guess the only downside was that I was an intern there, so they quite understandably didn't want to give me any serious project work, just some minor design, testing, and hands-on work in the lab.
Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience I got in those 6 months.
Doing a great job so far!
