Great Experience, Bad Balance
Great Experience, Bad Balance
GE, without a doubt, provides the best opportunities for gaining experience early on in your career.
I was tasked with leading many projects I could not have imagined doing for another company.
GE's work-life balance is not the best. The work-life issues seem to stem from people feeling pressured into putting in face time.
Keep investing in the leadership programs, but work on fostering an atmosphere for a better work-life balance that would boost morale.

General Electric Interview Experiences

Good, but long. Flew in for a few interviews, did most of the others remotely or over the phone. Nice staff, fairly transparent on what benefits are. Would recommend; good area.

Initial Application and Response Time: The process began with an online application where I submitted my resume and cover letter. The response time was impressive; I received an email to schedule a phone screen within a week.

Friendly phone interview with the hiring manager and a senior engineer. Personal and technical questions. Talk about yourself. Why do you want to work with GE?
