The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at GE in Feb 2010
Interview
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.
