      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce

      Interview

      Very well planned assessment centre; I had to do a group task, an interview and a presentation. Very relaxed atmosphere but still quite challenging, the presentation was the most challenging part for me.
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Ann Arbor, MI) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      Networked with recruiters at the career fair, received a call after a couple weeks asking for a phone interview. Was told I would be contacted within the next few weeks for another round of interviews. Did not get to that point though.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe a free body diagram to a non-engineer. Describe the thermodynamic process of a jet engine. Describe a time when you overcame a difficult challenge, and what was the outcome.

      Mechanical Engineering Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Derby, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Derby, England) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      The Assessment day involved a number of tasks including a 10 minute presentation you have to give about yourself and why you think you should work at Rolls-Royce and then moved onto competency questions. Then we had to to do another numerical reasoning test which is exactly the same as the application aptitude test but its supervised. then there was a group task and then a final technical interview. The group task involved working with 4 or 5 others to build a bridge which lead a marble and a ping pong ball into a cup, what they are looking for is you to take part and show you can work as a part of a team. the technical interview covered a variety of topics including Bernoulli's equation, fluid flow, areo jet engines, cad design drawings and a final topic of your choice which you had to explain as if you were talking to someone who had no clue about engineering. I choose how stress effects a wing on an aircraft.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Competency questions: How did you deal with a difficult person or situation?. Was there a time where you showed initiative? Technical: Explain Bernoulli's Equation, Explain how a aero jet engine works? explain how heat can affect the workings of a jet engine.
