GE Vernova (the power, wind and grid business that split from GE in April 2024) recruits most heavily in India through campus placement drives, and the corpus is dominated by GeeksforGeeks writeups from that channel. The typical India campus loop is four rounds: an online AMCAT or Cocubes assessment (aptitude MCQs plus two coding problems on arrays, strings, trees or DP), a group discussion on a topical prompt, a technical interview that grills the resume and asks core CS (OOP, DBMS, DSA, Java or C++ specifics), then a managerial interview (situational, why-GE, projects) and a final HR round. Software Engineering Specialist hires at GE Digital (now folded into Vernova's grid/software business) skip GD and instead run a HackerEarth or LeetCode-style coding round followed by a resume-driven technical interview and a behavioral round. First-hand Reddit accounts for experienced US and Canada roles are thinner and mostly describe recruiter screens plus a hiring manager conversation, with several candidates flagging ghosting after seemingly positive interviews.
These 17 writeups cover software engineering, electrical engineering, power systems engineering and other roles. All of them were posted under a forum handle, so we could not verify the authors’ identities.
