Asked to all employees at General Electric

  • Very educational. Treat the juniors very well.

  • I do not recommend this internship program anymore. The company has changed so much since the crisis that is currently affecting the company. In the past I would recommend it blindly. The company has other priorities at this moment, training is not one of them. I have seen many stupid decisions in this process. In the past an internship in GE was a jewel, today there many other opportunities in the market that are far better and offer broader career paths.

  • Horrible, because of the amount of responsibilities that are given usually to offset the cost of skilled labor.
