-Recommendation: Go with your gut, GE is a good company. Remember, you get to interview the company as much as they get to interview you. People don't quit companies, they quit people (management)...disappointment avoided.
-Would have most likely declined the offer if it was presented.
-Recruiter was responsive and transparent throughout the entire process; recruiter was more interested in a smooth process than management. Waited three weeks for a response - ghosted, however, the recruiter reached out to me and provided feedback on my decline (the only good part of my experience). HR was not responsive.
-Travelled 14 hours for the third round on-site interview on a religious holiday - scheduled for 2 hours, three separate sessions (one plant tour, one with hiring manager, one with random panel)
-Sprinted from location to location by "handler", no time or consideration for me to ask questions. Interview team was not prepared to conduct interview: slouched in chairs, did not have my resume reviewed or present in front of them, did not ask follow-up questions, one interviewer had droopy eyes and nodded off in their hands. I could tell from the start, due to their lack of energy and thus interest, that I wasn't the only candidate and the outcome was most likely going to be unfavorable. Questions were too easy and "canned" for a third round interview which the company was paying a lot of money. Its a third round for a reason and I wasn't disqualified for the canned answers but for very plane-jane question that wasn't expanded upon or followed-up (from my notes, the question that led to my declined represented 1-2% of the interview).
-As I checked out of the hotel, GE's credit card was declined. Had to pay for it myself but given the bad experience with the process, figured I'd never see the money.
