Interviewed May 2010 in Greenville, SC (took a day)
My information was in the GE Database because I applied online to other jobs with no results. I was wrote a email and set up a phone meeting the next day with a technical lead. I was askeddetails of my professional experience and about 5 behavioral questions. As a design engineer I was asked about my creativity.This was only a 30 min phone interview and then I received their feedback 5 days later. No offer was given . I am sure I will have a better match next.

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took a day)
Current and former GE Energy interns were given the opportunity to interview for the Edison Engineering Development Program (EEDP). The process included interviews with the program manager, HR contact, Advanced Courses contact, and a group manager. All interviews included behavioral questions and questions about the candidate's experiences. There were no technical questions (although there usually are). There was no in-depth questioning about experiences or desires. Everything seemed to be taken at face value. All candidates experienced the same "easy" interviews, so there was not much room in which to separate one's self from the pack. GE Energy did not communicate well about the hiring process and repeatedly changed the number of interns that would be hired. At the time, all candidates were current and former interns, but they were treated like outsiders. HR did not communicate. When candidates inquired, HR repeatedly pushed back dates for when candidates would be notified about offers. Almost all interns were not given offers, and no feedback was provided. More experienced interns were passed over for new interns. Also, non-GE students from campuses were recruited to fill some spots. Later, it was learned that some applicants were called back 4 months after the interviews to be given phone interviews and offers. This impersonal and haphazard hiring process was especially unprofessional because all candidates had been GE interns, not strangers with no experience. As a result, many interns would not return to the company if given the opportunity. In this economy, it seems that GE prefers to recruit non-GE people, leaving the GE interns to be used as paid labor and an extra candidate pool.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 3 weeks)
Simple Process:
1. Phone interview to review resume, credentials, and job fit.
2. 1:1 interview with hiring manager to elaborate on experience in light of job description. Know the job description!
3. Background check and drug test.
With regards to the difficulty of the interview, things were pretty straightforward; know your resume and make sure to have STAR (situation, task, action result) stories in mind for each bullet on your CV or resume. This is very important and helps in lowering the stress and nervousness in any interview. My interviewers were very kind and laid back. At this GE office everyone wears polo shirts, no tie and suits here. The office is very minimalistic, not much to look at. There are cubicles and conference rooms which are hold the minimal, bare necessities to complete the task. I think this is typical of GE culture at this time, trying to reduce costs while maintaining high performance and results.

Check salaries here (Glassdoor) to know what is the salary range for the job. I didn't do this beforehand and could have likely demanded more.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 1 week)
First Interview was more of the basic type where the non-technical recruiter verifies experiences laid out in your resume. If all goes well, she will set up technical interview with Test Lead. If you make it through then they will schedule you for face to face interview which I think is the last one. Tomorrow is my technical interview so wish me luck!

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
Got interview on college campus and interviewed with GE fairly late in the semester. Did not have much time to make decision, however from the interviewing process and information from the internet, GE seems like a good chose. After accepted offer, got instructions on what to do next from person in charge of co-ops. Very much open to questions I had over the Christmas break before I started.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Atlanta, GA (took 1+ week)
The interview was rushed and disorganized. I didn't have time to ask many questions and felt in some ways like they knew I could do the job and were just happy to fill the seat. They appeared quite stressed and overworked - clearly they needed to hire resources at lightning speed. No difficult quesions - just wanted to validate that I had all the skills and experience to get on board and hit the ground running.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 weeks)
I applied through my university's career office. My first interview was with a campus recruiter. The interview was all behavioral. The second round interview was all behavioral as well. My only advice would be to have a great answer for typical behavioral questions: strengths and weaknesses, what's your favorite course, etc.
