I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at GE (San Ramon, CA) in Dec 2015
Interview
Applied online and 6 weeks later received email from recruiter to setup a phone screen.
After speaking with recruiter for 30 minutes, a second phone screen was setup for technical.
Passed technical and was invited to their San Ramon campus for afternoon interviews with 8.
Arrived on time to their office and greeted by recruiter who was polite throughout day.
After that things went downhill:
1) Wasted 30 minutes trying to find an interview room. We found a narrow passageway
what could have been a janitorial storage room.
2) The dry erase markers were near empty and the white board was filthy from past interviews.
3) The workers walking past looked stressed out.
4) Spoke with only 1 Caucasian engineer, everyone else was foreign born and likely H1B visas.
5) Managers and Directors were all rude and condescending. What did I do wrong?
6) Their tech guy started asking me questions on a project I did only once.
7) Their tech guy never asked me about my 10 years of platform experience.
8) Insinuated I did not know how to code and I had to correct employee in my defense.
Overall, a big waste of a great Sunny day better spent interviewing a common sense employer.
What amazes me is I know more about GE business than interviewers who only know how to talk.
Had 3 interviews: one with the hiring manager, one with the direct manager and one with the HR. The technical interview was held mainly by the direct manager. The hiring manager assessed my teamwork skillset and previous experience delivering large scale projects.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at GE (Bengaluru) in Aug 2024
Interview
I had been interviewed with GE healthcare, 1st round was good, guy who took interview was nice and knowledgeable. But 2nd round was pathetic.
The guy who took interview for 2nd round does not know what is time complexity used for algorithms. He asked me to write program on Rotate array and i have written best solution as per time complexity O(n) but he was saying not acceptable even though it is working and told me could have written better solution. May be he is lacking time and space complexity concepts.
