I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Derby, England) in Nov 2019
Interview
I applied online and took a couple of online tests before being invited to assessment centre after a couple of weeks. The interview day comprised of a meet and greet with the assessors, a competency interview in which we were required to give a 5 minute presentation and finally a technical interview. The whole thing took about 7 hours but there was a fair amount of down time. I really would say the assessors want you to do your best, the coax the answers they want to hear out of you and make you feel very at ease.

Great experience overall. If you follow the interview questions posted on their site, you’ll be well prepared—they are almost exactly the same as the ones asked during the interview. The interviewers were super nice, welcoming, and supportive, creating a comfortable atmosphere. They seemed genuinely kind, caring, and interested in getting to know you.

Q: what is one thing you learned recently to improve yourself?
It went very well, they asked basic interview questions and I heard back from them in a good time. Then had an interview with the hiring manager to discuss the actual position.
