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.

Advice to Management

I didn't really have interactions with senior management.
