I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BAE Systems
Interview
Online tests required after I completed my online application. Tests included numerical and verbal reasoning tests. Found out test results immediately, took roughly 5 days to hear off recruitment inviting me to an interview.
Quite in-depth application, including writing about past experience if applicable. Offered pre-recorded video interview about a month after applying for the placement. Video interview is done through Hire Vue, you are given a practise question to start with which is not sent to BAE, then the interview starts. There are around 5 questions, and you have a maximum of 3 minutes to answer each question with as much detail as possible. I found it quite strange as this was my first video interview, and it is slightly disconcerting not having another person to rapport with when speaking, but overall I felt my interview went well

Interview
After completing online tests I was asked to do a phone interview. The questions were quite generic, typical interview questions that could have been for any job and weren't really specific to engineering.

Have you ever faced a period under stress, if so how did you deal with it?
