Interview
After applying I heard back after a couple of weeks to set up the interview. The interview was about an hour with 3 senior people from different divisions at varying levels. Questions asked were mainly behavioral questions and was pretty easy. The interviewers were friendly and made me feel comfortable.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at GE (Danbury, CT) in Apr 2009
Interview
A combination of styles: most were pretty standard interview - asked about past roles and experience. Two of the HR people asked really dopy questions about how I would share rope on an island or something. The HR people also asked questions like "describe a situation where you felt uncomfortable confronting your boss". The IT interviews were fine, but the HR interviews were very uncomfortable and unnatural.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you were stuck on an island with only a piece of rope and a shovel, describe how you would use those tools.
