I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at GE (Erie, PA) in Aug 2015
Interview
Interviewed lasted 4 hours. I talked to 4 different interviewers for an hour each. I talked to the head of the Edison program (a mechanical engineer), a systems engineer, the lead software engineer, and one of the project managers.
The each interviews were pretty easy and they mostly told me information that I should know about the company and program I was joining (Edison program). I spent most of the time asking questions and trying to get better information about the company out of them. I was asked about some pretty simple technical questions that were based off of my resume.
Quick and friendly interviewers. Made aware of timelines, got feedback fairly quick, next steps explained in detail. Made the job expectations very clear. First stage, interview and third stage. Onboarding process explained and was met with the actual managers that you would then work with.
6 step interview over the course of about 2 months. At the end they told me theyd read my resume wrong and couldn't actually hire me. The engineering manager for the position seemed like a good guy, really just depends on the team you end up on at these big companies.
the hole proccess took around 1 month i think, once i started the intervies its take prrety fast .Two technical interviews including quastions of imaging, like how to blur an image etc, then hr interview just to know you.
