I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at GE Aerospace (Bohemia, NY) in May 2010
Interview
initial communication was good. Hiring process took for ever with lost paperwork and no follow up. Delayed start date and no hr on site experienced with my specific issues. Each time i was contacted i was told a different start date. Took over two months to start after my implied availability.

Interview
The interview process included a technical group interview, an interview with the immediate hiring manager and a telephonic interview with the one-on-one manager.
Overall, the interview was of average difficulty and the people were helpful and courteous.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at GE Aerospace in Sep 2011
Interview
The interview process consisted of two phone interviews and an on-site interview. The process seemed a little disorganized, as though there was very limited internal coordination and communication. I was invited for an on-site interview approximately two months after the two phone interviews. The on site interview required the better part of the day and consisted of panel interviews with various teams as well as 1:1 interview with management.
The questions asked during the entire interview process were behavior based. There was obviously an approved GE interview playbook, with little variation from the approved questions. Be prepared to answer the same question several times with different panels of interviewers. A typical sampling of questions:
1. Describe a time that your project failed and how you handled it.
2. Tell me about a time when you had trouble receiving criticism.
3. Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult person.
4. Describe a time when you took a risk and how you evaluated your risk.
5. Describe a time when you disagreed with your manager and how you handled it.
6. Tell me three things you are proud/not proud of.
My interview seemed to go well, but after three months I have not heard anything.
