Mechanical Engineer at Rolls-Royce

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Indianapolis, IN Oct 2011 – Reviewed Oct 20, 2011

Interview Details – Met the recruiters at my university's career fair. After introducing myself and speaking to the recruiter for 15 minutes I was invited to a mixer later that evening. After an hour at the mixer I departed and later received a phone call to interview with them on campus the following day. The interview was approximately 45 minutes long and consisted of mostly "what would you do if..." type questions following by open discussion.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Peterborough, ON (Canada) – Reviewed Feb 19, 2013

Interview Details – Very structured, pre-screen telephone call followed by face-to-face interview by line manager and department head.

Interview Question – No real surprises, the questions were competency based interview questions with a desire to explore my technical knowledge in relation to the role. Recommend that potential candidates bring along work examples as this would help provide evidence to support answers.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – The minimum holiday entitlements were offered initially, however this is something that should be negotiated based on experience.
