I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GE (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2017
Interview
There was a 30 minute phone call with the HR which covered basic details like work responsibilities, compensation, location of work, transportation and start dates. They handed me a packet of forms to be filled out and submitted within 5 days.
