I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AECOM (London, England) in Mar 2012
Interview
Applied online with fairly standard questions such as "why do you want to work for us" and "where do you see the industry going in the coming years".
Took a few months to receive a response (applied in December, heard back around the end of May), and invited to an assessment day.
Assessement day consisted of a presentation about the company by a senior engineer and then a personality questionnaire (no preparation necessary, just general yes/no/maybe questions) and a technical test. These were simple engineering/maths problems similar to what you might have in first year of university. Then some specific questions on mechanical engineering that were simple and easy, just to see if you could follow instructions and deduce what to do if given a problem.
Then an interview with a senior engineer and someone from HR, no surprises, just the usual interview questions like "what do you know about this company" and some regarding my achievements mentioned in the application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about this companys history, were there any important events recently?
Only face to face interview and no written, asked based on your resume. For example, what is the machinsm of ELS? How to determine Grade III rock? What is your Capstone and Final year project?
Two interviewers, ask about the leadership, challenge ,all the questions are mainly based on CV. Not intense atmosphere, also questions about coorperation. it is a good experience , no so many technical questions
The process started with an initial HR screening to discuss my background and interest in the role. This was followed by a technical interview where I was asked about my engineering knowledge and past project experience. There was also a competency-based discussion focusing on teamwork and problem-solving. Overall, the process was organised, and communication was clear at each stage.
