I applied in-person. I interviewed at GE (Leicester, England) in Oct 2014
Interview
Extremely low paid specially if you are a foreigner, I got the job and I REJECTED the offer due to low salary. The HR lady offered me around 23 per cent below the market and of course I rejected. She was thinking because I was foreigner I could get paid low and non-one else was going to offer me more. I told them f.o. and I got another job with 25 per cent more. She was extremely cold and looking at me as an inferiority human. Process was too much and the line manager who was in travel demanded a FOUR interview stage. Really bad and I am glad i didn't choose it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Software questions were ok, reasonable not too easy not to difficult.
Had 3 interviews: one with the hiring manager, one with the direct manager and one with the HR. The technical interview was held mainly by the direct manager. The hiring manager assessed my teamwork skillset and previous experience delivering large scale projects.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at GE (Bengaluru) in Aug 2024
Interview
I had been interviewed with GE healthcare, 1st round was good, guy who took interview was nice and knowledgeable. But 2nd round was pathetic.
The guy who took interview for 2nd round does not know what is time complexity used for algorithms. He asked me to write program on Rotate array and i have written best solution as per time complexity O(n) but he was saying not acceptable even though it is working and told me could have written better solution. May be he is lacking time and space complexity concepts.
