Interviewed Apr 2011 in Scottsdale, AZ (took a day)
Interviewed for a portfolio management position. Consisted of 4 interviews lasting 45 minutes a piece. 3 out of the 4 interviewers were shocked that I wanted to transition to the private sector from a government job and treated me like I was from another planet. I was pretty much dismissed once I started discussing my background and was asked about simple technical functions of computer software that I don't normally use. I later learned that the technical questions were for functions that no one in the office uses. Overall, the interview was not difficult, but extremely hostile.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Stamford, CT (took 3 weeks)
I applied for this internship through on-campus recruiting and several weeks later I was noticed that I received an interview. The interview was held on my universities campus and lasted 45 minutes. It was mostly behavioral and informational with a couple of technical questions. A week later I received an email saying that I was offered a second round interview in Connecticut. I was flown out across the country and had three 30 minute interviews along with a lunch with previous RMP interns who now work there full-time. The three onsite interviews were purely behavioral, and easier than the first round.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I accepted the offer I was given. I feel that negotiation is a relevant topic for full-time positions, as opposed to internships. GE is a very generous company.

I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Stamford, CT (took 3 weeks)
GE uses a very behavioral strategy when it comes to hiring people for their IMLP program. I had one phone interview and another in person interview. They want to konw your organizational, leadership, and technical traits. I would say they would use their view on leadership to determine an individual's candidacy. It was all done on campus at my University. They are very interested in individuals that match the personality they are seeking. Most questions were behavioral and none were too difficult. Perhaps the biggest curveball was the "Where do you see yourself in five years" question. All other questions pertained to my on campus activities, classes, and previous experiences.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Stamford, CT (took 3 weeks)
Started with a phone interview that was very basic. Mostly a behavioral interview without technical questions. Lots of team questions and time management. They really just want to see if you are a hard working, passionate individual who can communicate effectively.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 4 days)
A phone interview kicked of the process, followed by a 1:1 onsite, a second multiple person onsite, and a final call from HR. Overall I found the interview process to be fair, interactive, and challenging without feeling scripted. Everything was handled very professional (as expected) and the caliber of management I met with only reinforced my decision to join the company.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Norwalk, CT (took 8 weeks)
I initially struck up conversations by networking with a mutual contact with a junior level associate within the current group I work. He instructed me what his daily tasks are and what the environment is like at GE. He also informed me what to expect in the interviews as well as the type of candidates they are looking for. As the interview process began, I meet with 5 different senior level management (AVP, VP, SVP, MD) individually for 30 minutes. Each interview varied as some wanted to hear your background and discuss prior experiences as others wanted to see how much knowledge you knew about the company/industry/particular tasks that coincided with the position.
It turns out, I left a question open for interpretation and some people took my answer the opposite of what I originally intended. I followed up with the SVP who I would be working for after I heard from my junior level associate contact to clarify what was said. They brought me in for a 2nd round interview to try and redeem myself. It so happens, they appreciated how much I cared about the interview/position and took my clarifying email as a major positive. They offered me the position about 2 months after I applied.
During the interview, I was made to feel very comfortable and relaxed. Everyone in the office was very intrigued by my background and current MBA work. The work culture at GE is much different than a major investment bank as they take pride in training their employees (senior and junior level). It is a very team-based environment where possibilities are made to feel endless.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
When I was waiting for the offer, I conducted some research of what other BAs in the industry were receiving and came up with a figure I thought would be appropriate to ask for. When I heard from GE, the offer exceeded what I planned to ask/negotiate by $8k. GE even offered to cover the remaining MBA classes I was taking at a local university before I could even ask. It was a very encouraging experience as I knew I was a valued asset to them right from the start.
I would advise doing as much research as possible regarding salary and benefits from a similar position at different companies within the industry. You can get a gauge as to what is appropriate to ask for so you are within reason if you attempt to negotiate your starting salary.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.
