Good place for an internship but for a long-term career I am not sure

Business Outlook

Pros

GE provides good training and job responsibilty for day one. Work atmosphere is very good and most people pulling on the same the string.

Cons

The company is too bureaucratic and therefore has long response time and little recognition from higher management for work. Furthermore, the company is so large that you are just one of many gear wheels and can be easily replaced, which can feel a bit daunting at some stages. Poor work environment, unless you fancy to work in a container next to a power plan, above a workshop or in a warehouse.
