Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at GE Research.
Engineer
We started with a 30-40 minute phone call to go over some technical stuff. Then, for the on-site part, I had a 1-hour tech seminar where I presented my graduate school work. After that, there was a 1-hour in-depth technical review with about 3-4 people. Finally, I had individual meetings with lab managers, project leaders, principal engineers, and HR.
- What are your goals for working at GE?
- Can you describe how you'll contribute to the projects currently in progress?
Engineer
Make sure your CV matches the job posting or don't bother applying. The first chat is with HR - you need to sound 'hireable', say what they want to hear, be formal but enthusiastic. Good English is a must. It's a plus if you know something about GE. Then there's an interview with your potential manager. You can be more yourself here, but get ready for some technical questions about your experience.
- What do you know about GE?
- How would you describe yourself?
- Can you tell me about your technical background?
Lead Engineer
We had a teleconference call with the manager first, then I met with his team of 4 senior engineers. They asked mostly about my past work experience and jobs I had accomplished. The last interview was with the HR Manager to discuss compensation and benefits.
- Could you describe your most significant accomplishment at your prior company and its resulting impact?
- Can you discuss your skills?
