    • I have enjoyed working with GE to the most. It was a tremendous learning experience. Had an opportunity to acquire new skills.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Valuing fellow employees and stake holders are part of the work culture here at GE. As a matter of fact, I have allowed to handle some of the crucial initiatives as a part of the Brilliant Factory project with full autonomy. My work was recognized in all possible ways. Feel happy about it.

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • In Ranjith, I had one of the best Managers. He groomed me so well that I was able to handle projects all alone (with less or no intervention) within a short span. We have a daily scrum call to continue the momentum and a monthly personal development meeting. I have received both accolades and constructive feedback from him which helped me a lot to continuously deliver the best.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • As I was involved in projects related to Automation and Digitization, I see a bright future. My manager is a detail-oriented person, he trained me in such a way that I give attention to nuances. This certainly helped a lot while performing a research for my dissertation.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Although I had learnt a lot during the last 1 year, This is one area where I felt, the company could have done better. I was working in one of the projects where I had no idea what I was doing initially. Through experience, I manged to perform well over a period of time; however, If I had a formal training, I would have performed even better in that project. You do have lot of learning materials available online as well.
