      Software Engineer Interview

      27 Jan 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      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.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Tell me about a time when you ran into an unexpected obstacle in a project.
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Tell me about a time when you criticized someone else's work and how you and they handled it. Also the reverse - when you received criticism.

      I interviewed at GE (Chicago, IL)

      Interview

      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.
