    实习生活体会

    哎呀,写了个这么正式的题目,下面都不知道从哪里开始写起了。算了算,13周的实习之剩下5周了,实习生活嘛,说不上享受也说不上不爽,只是平平淡淡,平淡中又有着紧张压力快乐和偶尔的成就感。
     
    GE的牌子似乎还挺大,来之前总是觉得GE的global research center一定超级牛B,一定是些在学校里想都不敢想的事情,来了才发现,不过如此。GRC里面很多都是介于research和implementation之间的工作,对我来说,research方面的就有趣一些,至少有些新鲜感,有些动力;implementation方面就无聊些,一些细节的小东西,在学校的话是绝对懒得弄的。从开始实习以来,一直都不大提得起精神干活,导致把金庸全集用上班的时间重温了一遍,算了算累计200+小时了吧,汗,看来我这人还是太懒散。好在project leader似乎还对我的贡献挺满意,汗啊,看来真的对intern没啥高期望,呵呵。接近结束了,未来几周肯定要好好忙了。
     
    来之前完全不知道GE这里的行政结构啥样,来了才发现,上层还比较清楚,底层就混乱多了。整个GRC下面一堆organization,类似学校里的department,不过分类要细一些,有搞material的,visual的,power system的,power conversion的,一堆又一堆;每个organization下面又细分成几个lab,就和学校里面的大实验室差不多。实验室里面的组织就混乱多了,除了lab manager负责整个lab的杂事之外,每个project都有主要负责人project leader,一般是比较senior的,可以拉别人干活,类似于学校里的advisor;junior的当然就主要干活,大体上相当于phd或者postdoc。但是混乱之处就在于project leader只是针对项目而言,不是职位。lab下面90%的人title都是engineer, 不管是不是project leader.于是出现了一个组里如果4个人,可能每个人都是一个project的leader,另外3个负责干活。当然实际情况这种比较少,但是至少在职位上是看不出实际工作分工的。我猜这也是公司的培养理念:no constraints:适合做leader的人自然而然就会出头,适合安心干活的人也自然就安心做labor。不过从title上来说想要promote就难的多了。
     
    呆了2个月了,说不上喜欢也说不上不喜欢GE,但是总觉得公司里面有些压力又忙忙碌碌的生活挺无聊。还不如学生时候自由自在,可以随便半夜去干活到凌晨,也可以一周完全不出现。难道公司里面都这样?真不知道自己真的适合什么生活。
     
    最后祭奠一下我第一篇被reject的journal paper。比较诡异的是没有任何comment就据了,都不知道该咋improve...节哀顺变哈

    习惯了就好,在RD Center里边,Project Mnager和Engineer平级很普遍。一般Engineer是一个主Project,然后一堆Contribution。
    PM,Engineer一般是两个职业路径,不好横向比较。和自己的职业规划有关系。
