General Electric Financial Risk Management Program

I have interview with them too. Couldn't find much either.

is that the investment analyst program?

Here's some info: http://www.ge.com/careers/students/rmp/index.html

I interned with GE Capital last summer in the Financial Management Program. such a huge company though to be honest Im not sure if Financial Risk Management Program is something different

Overall great company, solid experience. but definitely best if you're interested in being a GE lifer. not to mention that they were bleeding some fmp's when I was there. Kids leaving the company for better gigs

Also for me, the first round interview was on campus totally fit. Second round is 45 min over the phone and is rigid as in the interviewer has set questions they have to ask but again completely fit. this was for summer intern though, FT might be different.

RMP is a new program this year.

i would stay away if possible

would you mind elaborating on why I should stay away? "When you join GE's RMP, you'll work under the guidance of senior risk managers with expertise in consumer and commercial underwriting, portfolio management and analytics." These seem like some transferable skills, so I don't see it being a waste of time or bad place to at least start a career.

GE tends or overhire ... thats fine if the business needs it but often times it does not.. so your looking at maybe being laid off in under two years... sure that is the case for some other types of jobs but not many. Its a big machine and thats great but its also a big machine and that sucks. we picked up a few of those guys here.. where did they come from? top mba programs... if all you got then rock out.. but if you have options i would hedge out the GE job

Thats good advice thanks a lot. I have a lot of people I'm speaking with but nothing has come to fruition yet other than this interview. I'll still treat it with importance but like you said if I get the opportunity to leverage it for something better I would definitely consider that

If this is the only interview you have man you need to go in their like its your life. Nothing worse than ending up struggling to find something (at least in my opinion). Like monty said, even if you get stuck at GE, you can always use that to push your way into a top MBA and go from there but don't discount this (especially if you don't have any other options) just because it isnt TMT at GS.

I just had my interview. Killed it. Definitely will be in the second round.

Does anyone know where RMP/FMP take place? Will it be in the City? Or, Connecticut?

From my understanding RMP is very much like FMP, but with more focus on analytics and PM type stuff. And isn't FMP like super prestigious?

I'm just wondering if there are any other downs than high turnover.

Since this is a risk role, more than likely it is either in Norwalk or Fairfield, Ct. Most of the FMPs have high GPAs.

Does anyone have any idea how many people will be brought in for final rounds?

not sure, but for the rmp program they said they are taking a hiring class of 25

Anyone hear back?

I was offered by them on Friday. Interviewed with them Monday. Anyone else offered want to give opinions on what they think of the program?

Got an offer last Monday after interview. It seems to be a solid program, especially on the Capital Americas side (BLG, structured products, workout, equity, etc.) Benefits are training, GE name, full benefits package, and the pension plan is tough to turn down. Seems very bureaucratic from org perspective, which is a drawback, but a meritocracy nonetheless. Tough decision.

Hey I have an offer with GE RMP... has anyone accepted?? I have a question about the position

What's the pay? Like 55k? I think 55k is fmp pay...pretty low.

Interviewed for RMP and FMP. FMP is more highly regarded within GE for other opportunities. RMP or any other strictly Capital roles like IMP it will be tough to go anywhere else in GE other than Capital if you are looking for management roles down the line. Also, their FMP program is more highly regarded outside of GE, that is why i chose to stick to FMP. Many more exit opportunities, even though it isn't an investment or risk role.

I do have friend's though that have been able to make the transition from FMP to treasury, equity, and investor relations so those opportunities are still available.
