I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Indianapolis, IN) in Jan 2019
Interview
First Interview was from a contract recruiter, 2nd step was to answer 5 online video questions. 1 minute to read and up to 3 minutes to respond, which was recorded. You can see yourself being recorded, and felt very impersonal. Considering this was a people position designed to impact culture and inclusion, it seemed very linear, cold, and unfriendly.
The online video was interrupted multiple times with connectivity issues. Sometimes it would recycle to the place of the interruption, and others it started from start of the recording process. Without any feedback, it's unclear what kind of final product was being shared with the hiring manager. The end result for me became apparent.
1, online assessment; 2, CV review; 3, Assessment centre, involving individual interview then technical interview and lastly group exercise at the end 4, you get an offer with 50/50 chance
