I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GE Aerospace (Lynn, MA) in Apr 2019
Interview
-Recommendation: Go with your gut, GE is a good company. Remember, you get to interview the company as much as they get to interview you. People don't quit companies, they quit people (management)...disappointment avoided.
-Would have most likely declined the offer if it was presented.
-Recruiter was responsive and transparent throughout the entire process; recruiter was more interested in a smooth process than management. Waited three weeks for a response - ghosted, however, the recruiter reached out to me and provided feedback on my decline (the only good part of my experience). HR was not responsive.
-Travelled 14 hours for the third round on-site interview on a religious holiday - scheduled for 2 hours, three separate sessions (one plant tour, one with hiring manager, one with random panel)
-Sprinted from location to location by "handler", no time or consideration for me to ask questions. Interview team was not prepared to conduct interview: slouched in chairs, did not have my resume reviewed or present in front of them, did not ask follow-up questions, one interviewer had droopy eyes and nodded off in their hands. I could tell from the start, due to their lack of energy and thus interest, that I wasn't the only candidate and the outcome was most likely going to be unfavorable. Questions were too easy and "canned" for a third round interview which the company was paying a lot of money. Its a third round for a reason and I wasn't disqualified for the canned answers but for very plane-jane question that wasn't expanded upon or followed-up (from my notes, the question that led to my declined represented 1-2% of the interview).
-As I checked out of the hotel, GE's credit card was declined. Had to pay for it myself but given the bad experience with the process, figured I'd never see the money.
Easy and laidback process started with phone interview and the had an interview at the actual site. Staff was professional and friendly at the same time. We had no issues communicating.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at GE Aerospace (Huntsville, AL) in Feb 2017
Interview
Very thorough. First had two, telephone interviews with a in-house recruiter. Next went through three telephone interviews. The next phase included four, one on one interviews with various team members.
