I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at GE (New York, NY) in Feb 2025
Interview
Pretty standard big company interviews - no trick questions. They focused on applied problems rather than data structures and algorithms - nothing especially difficult, if you know how to code.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk about the largest project to worked on or led in the past few years.
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.
