Ge Healthcare

I participated in the recruitment process for a Software Engineer Intern position at GE HealthCare through my college. The opportunity was part of the campus recruitment process, and the selection involved an initial assessment followed by technical evaluation. The process started with an online assessment containing programming and technical questions. The coding section mainly tested DSA and general problem-solving skills. I encountered questions around arrays, strings, hashing and basic data structures. The questions weren't completely unfamiliar, but the time limit meant that I had to be careful about both choosing the right approach and implementing it without wasting time. After the assessment, I was shortlisted for the next stage. The technical discussion focused largely on programming and problem-solving. One of the questions involved an array-based problem where I was asked to explain my approach before moving towards implementation. The interviewer also asked about the time and space complexity and introduced a few edge cases to see whether the solution would still hold. Another problem involved trees and required me to reason about traversal and how information could be maintained while moving through the structure. I was able to explain the approach, although I needed some time to work through the implementation. There was also a discussion around my projects. I was asked about the architecture of one of my projects, the technologies I had used, and some of the decisions I had made during development. A few questions were specifically aimed at understanding whether I had actually worked on the project myself rather than simply knowing its surface-level features. The interview wasn't just about producing code. The interviewer frequently asked why I was choosing a particular data structure, whether the complexity could be improved, and what would happen for unusual inputs. This made the round more conversational than simply solving one problem after another. I eventually received the update that I had not been selected for the Software Engineer Intern position. My process ended without an offer. Although the result was disappointing, the experience was useful because it showed me that interview preparation needs to cover more than just solving standard DSA questions. Being able to explain the reasoning behind a solution, defend complexity choices, and discuss projects in depth are equally important. Overall, my GE HealthCare experience was On-Campus Application → Online Assessment → Technical Evaluation → Rejected. The main takeaway for me was to become more comfortable explaining my thought process while coding and to prepare my projects well enough that I can confidently discuss even the smaller implementation details.
