Interview Details –
1 phone interview (so far): Questions were very technical. Focusing on establishing my strengths and core interests. Interview started by asking me to summarize my work history. The 2 interviewers then asked specific questions on what i had done. They were intrested in knowing what engineering tools and processes were followed and used to reach the conclusions noted (on the CV). Was also asked what areas i would like to focus on while at RR.
Received email confirmation today for next phase (face-to-face interview).
If successful, Its been explained that a 3rd and final interview (at what will be my work location) will be scheduled.

Interview Details – Filled out the application form online which consisted of some standard 'give an example of a time when you demonstrated' questions. I was then invited to the assesment center. All expenses were covered by Rolls-Royce including booking hotel accomodation and taxis the following morning. Assesment Center had around 10 candidates present and started with a brief business case study essay, numerical and verbal reasoning tests, a technical interview, competancy based interview (which included making a presentation about myself) and finally a group exercise. Overall a very professional interview process.

Interview Details – Mid-career position, telephone interview/chat followed by discussions with managers. The opening seemed fairly undefined, more like interviewing for entry into a department/career structure than anything else. They seemed pleased to offer to the right kind of person, but were vague on specfics and I should have asked more questions. The job questiions were easy, and HR set some standard questions about unusual situations,.
