I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Birmingham, England) in Dec 2013
Interview
Interview with site tour and group exercise. They first showed us around the site. It helped to pay attention to the products and ask questions. Group exercise involved a presentation about your own achievements to the rest of the group. Rather unsettling when you realise how accomplished your colleagues are!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview had two engineers. There was a set of general questions about team work and examples where you took the initiative. There were also questions regarding a simple engineering drawing (asking it to be redrawn in perspective view) and the properties to consider when designing a spring. Sounds simple but there is still a surprising amount of things to consider even with such a simple component mainly due to the safety-critical nature of the aerospace industry.
