Area Manager at GE
No Offer – Reviewed Jun 5, 2013 New
Interview Details – Received call from HR department asking for more info. Was then informed I was chosen for a face to face interview. I was flown to the interview location and had a series of interviews with 3 people including the hiring manager. Everything was very low-key, low pressure. Typical interview questions. I was surprised that the process was so casual and informal.
Interview Question – I was told by the hiring manager simply that he couldn't afford me. I asked for an offer to see if we were that far apart and was not given one. Just general, "you are too senior for this position" and no offer. Not sure if it was just an excuse or if I blew the interview somehow. Answer Question

Project Manager at GE
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Apr 2010 – Reviewed Jun 2, 2013
Interview Details – My interview process was incredibly lengthy and consisted of eight interviews, including one that lasted over two hours on a Sunday via phone. While GE is an excellent place to work, the interview process leaves something to be desired. In fact, it made me not want to accept an offer because there were elements of it that felt more like an interrogation than an interview. Ultimately, I accepted and now believe they are working to make this a better experience for candidates.
Interview Question – The demand to have my current manager's contact information, even though my company's policy did not allow for this. Answer Question

Software Engineer at GE
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Minden, NV Sep 2009 – Reviewed May 2, 2013
Interview Details – My initial interview was after a summer internship. It was a single interview that consisted of 3 employees. One employee was my champion and was there to reduce nervousness. Basically I already new him from my internship. He did not ask any technical questions, but was my fit interviewer/advocate. The technical interview lasted about 2 hours and mainly consisted of standard algorithm questions, data structure questions, and some high level questions regarding computer architecture.
Interview Question – I can't remember all of the questions, but at the time I think the reverse the linked list question was nerve wracking just because I made a mistake and got frustrated. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Easy. The employer gave me the details and I accepted them. I was just out of college and had no clue how to negotiate.

Co-op at GE
Accepted Offer – Reviewed Apr 24, 2013
Interview Details – GE recruited at my college. After applying online, I was contacted by a manager for a phone interview. The interview consisted of your typical HR type questions. I made sure to express my interest for airplanes (I was interviewing for GE Aviation). I completed a phone interview, and was sent an offer a few weeks later. The process was streamlined and simple.
