The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GE (Louisville, KY) in Jan 2012
Interview
After having gone through the issue of work experience not actually equating to the perception of a degree, I pointedly asked the HR resource who did the initial phone screen to ensure that this was not an issue prior to continuing and wasting everyone's time.
So much for that. As soon as I said I did not have an Engineering degree the thoughts of an offer disappeared. After noting that I had come from the IT side of the world I may as well have hung up.
This after the hiring manager missed the first scheduled interview - due to not having it on his calendar. Then when he started this one, he didn't have a clue as to who I was or even sure what position I was applying for.
Disappointing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you were involved in process development.
The interview process was quite pleasant. Upon applying some standardised computer based tests were given. About a month later, an invitation for an interview was received. The interview was conducted online and was attended by two people. It took about an hour
I applied online. I interviewed at GE (London, England) in Feb 2024
Interview
Tough as so many technical questions were asked, along with the details provided in the cv. The interviewer also asked for the certification and relevant experience i had. that is what it is
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GE (Milwaukee, WI)
Interview
Phone screen - Recruiter reached out first and discussed the company, role and need
Phone screen - Hiring Manager reached out to gauge interest and set expectations for in-person interview
In person interviews - Panel interview ( 5 members of the team - 2 remote on tcon, 3 local including the manager) - Was very relaxed, encouraging and defenitely not intimidating
Three 1 on 1 interviews
Project Manager - Good deep dive discussion about their projects and expectations
Senior Engineer - Good discussion around software release, development tech stack, methodology and need for program help
HR - More of a summary, bit of personality and temperament assessment, salary expectation, start date etc.
