GE thinks it's the greatest company on earth. So you will be dealing with people with huge egos.

Reason for Declining

Family comes before work. In GE's world and culture, working for them is priority and who cares if your wife is pregnant and depressed?

Very Easy Interview

Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Burlington, ON (Canada) (took a day)

Very engaging/charming; they really try to wow' candidates with all the benefits and advantages of joining GE but note that the actual boss on the assignment was not part of the interviewing group and I was deceived into thinking that the job would be as good. Also the interview location is not the office location and they make no mention of the actual assignment and the job/tasks you will be doing. All a great lesson for future interviews!

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took a day)

The interview process was 45 minutes and consisted of about five behavioural questions. The interviewer asked about experience leadership, team work, and a time you encountered a difficult situation. GE really emphasizes innovation so be sure to have a good example of applying a creative and innovative solution to a problem. They also asked why you want to work for GE as a FMP.
