Software Engineer Interview Experience - Cheltenham, England

Process

First, I applied online.

I was then invited to complete their online Talent Simulation Tests. This included questions like "what would you do if," and you then ranked each answer.

After that, I was invited to complete a video interview. This wasn't live, so you were just recording your answer. You had 30 seconds or so to think of your answer, so make sure you've prepared!

After successfully completing this, I was contacted about the available roles. I selected the ones I was most interested in and then waited for a manager to invite me to interview.

I was then selected to be interviewed, which took around 90 minutes. The same day, I was contacted with a verbal offer!

Questions

Video:

  • Your hero and why?
  • Why GE?
  • Make sure you look at the camera.
  • Wear something smart (shirt).
  • Find a quiet space and tidy your room!

Face to Face:

  • Competency-based questions.
  • Tell me a time when...
  • Technical questions about the role.
  • What's a pointer?
  • Why GE and the role specifically?
  • Make sure you keep eye contact.
  • Again, wear a smart uniform (shirt and tie, etc.).
  • Don't panic when they ask you something you don't know.
  • Ask to come back to it or ask for some time to think; it will not matter.
  • Make sure you prepare some questions to ask.
  • Do not ask ones about salary or a company car.

Best of luck! Hope to see you there.
