I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at GE in Jan 2011
Interview
I was initially sent a prescreening questionnaire, which was 7 pretty textbook computer science questions. This appears to be a standard GE test, and can be found posted around the Internet. Draw a class diagram, draw a set of database tables, explain how you would solve a given problem, and explain some software testing procedures. Then I had a phone interview with the typical personality questions - "tell me about a time" sort of questions. A series of relatively basic computer science questions followed - explain arrays, linked lists, hash tables, collisions, chaining, deadlock, threads, mutexes, etc.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you came up with an innovative solution to a problem.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at GE (Boston, MA) in Aug 2008
Interview
this was for an software position. There were several people on the phone call, 1:n. They basically asked me about the projects I listed on my resume, a lot of details. Also, I was asked if I ever worked on ARM, what kind of processors I used. There wasn't many technical questions or coding, since that was a phone interview.
