I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at GE in Jan 2016
Interview
Four stages to the process. The first two are an online application and a talent test where you have to pick the most and least effective solutions to a situation, its very easy. The third stage was recording responses to interview questions through Hirevue. Standard questions such as, Who is your Hero? Why do you want to work for GE? Tell me about a time you encouraged someone? Tell me about a time something went wrong? How did you fix it? I prepared for this like you would for a face to face interview. Final stage was a face to face interview. I was interviewed by three people and it took approximately 45 minutes, although I know someone who was interviewed by one person so your mileage may vary. Some standard questions like 'Tell me about yourself?' and 'what motivated you to apply for the program?' Then there were five questions based on GE's values. You will get sent the values beforehand so just try and make up 2-3 answers for each value covering a range of things they could ask you about it. The people interviewing were very friendly and made me feel at ease.

Simple technical/behavioral interview. Answer with STAR method and with more leadership and behavioral questions. Most technical questions were fitted for the job description rather than random hard to remember questions.

Hirevue - two rounds with video responses and short answer questions. Should hear back after the second one pretty straightforward with mostly behavioral questions and interest in the company and their products
