Graduate Electrical Engineer EGP at GE

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Perth, Western Australia – Reviewed Apr 17, 2013

Interview Details Had a chat with the GE recruitment consultant. always reschedule the call. Never every say yes i am free right now. Most common questions are "tell me about yourself?" "why are you interested in this stream?" "Work Exp etc.". Please be advised that when he/she asks you towards the end if you have any questions for him/her. always have a question for him her. never leave the phone interview without asking a question. he/she expects you to be exceptional. dont give them a reason for rejecting by being ordinary. And do not for a second be casual in the interview. I received the offer because of almost 2 yr exp but i was not one of his top choices. thank god he was friendly and honest enough to tell me that!

Information Technology Leadership Program at GE

Declined Offer – Reviewed Apr 08, 2013

Interview Details Standard phone screen, SHL testing and then an assessment centre focused on evaluating presentation and teamwork skills. Successful candidates then have an interview with a HR Business Partner and the ITLP Program Manager. Finally, if successful, you will be invited to a more informal interview with the Program Manager and the CTO, where they pitch to you why you should join GE and you can ask questions.

Interview Question – Too long ago to remember! The questions were very behavioural and the more difficult ones were around leadership experience and impact. As always, research the company. They are very proud at GE and they respond well to you knowing and respecting the brand.   Answer Question

Operations Manager at GE

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Belfort (France) Sep 2010 – Reviewed May 08, 2013 New

Interview Details Senior Executives and multiple interviews. Use of very high tech video conferencing for distance interviewing, with multiple screens connecting several interviewers. Behavioral based questions. They really ask about your experience working in a matrix environment, but don't explain the true complexity of the matrix. Integrated employees from acquisitions are often quietly eliminated after 2 years if they don't assimilate and deliver results.

Interview Question – What innovative ideas have you been responsible for introducing?   View Answer

Negotiation Details – Similar to buying a car where the HR Leader is not allowed to make a decision, and must go back to multiple people for acceptable salaries and benefits. You can negotiate vacation time, stock options, and guaranteed bonus for Executive Band. There are several clearly defined packages for relocation. You never know how your peers are compensated, and there is a large scale for each salary band.
