GE vs JnJ vs FM Global - Internship
I made a post yesterday for myself between Walmart and the DoD (internship)-- this post is instead for a friend. Info about friend: - Computer science student at a top CS school (top 10)-- yes, we go to the same school - More concerned about the experience as opposed to the pay Roles: GE: An ambiguous role labeled under ”technology” JnJ: PM Role FM Global: Software Eng/Dev What company would you choose for a first-time role and why? Considering things like company brand name and outlook. #ge #jnj #fmglobal #software #developer #technology #pm #productmanagement #productmanager #softwareengineer #internship #Intern #help
I recommend GE, but make sure you have experience with AWS tech stack, Python, Java, R, as these are what we use and we work in the cloud - have some background or knowledge in data science too (we use AI)
Don’t do tech at GE, it’s a dumpster fire. And that’s coming from someone who now works at another dumpster fire.
Exxon is a good company. I have a Data Scientist friend there.
It WAS a good company. If you’re US based it’s bad, especially for anything tech. Which is why there’s been massive numbers quitting. The worst kept secret at the company is that they don’t want US IT to exist within the next 10 years. Hence 1% raises when inflation is 7% and freezing most promos. Most want out, the last internal employee survey I saw before leaving (March 2022) had over 70% of US EMIT admit to actively searching for a new job within the last 6 months, with young employees being over 80%. And that was after both over 100 quit and 8% PIP. Prior to 2020, that job search % was usually around 5-10%.
