Rolls-Royce interview questions

After submitting my application, I made a pretty standard online test and after 4 weeks I became the invitation for AC. It started with a coffee & talk, where the applicants first met. After that, we made a small part of the same online test in written form, in order to show that we did it by ourselves. Then, there was skills and experience interview with one of the assessors. In this Interview you have to present yourself in a given time and then the assessor asks you standard interview questions. What was the biggest problem you had to solve? What was the result? etc. After that, there was a group activity, in which you had to make a paper plane considering the given market requirements and costs. It was quite fun. After that round we went together to lunch and then there was the 2nd round of interview. Here the assessors ask you about technical questions about manufacturing. Some can be really tough and unexpected. After that the AC is over and you have a chance to ask your questions to a trainee who comes to Q&A round.

The hiring process took about 10 weeks from application to offer acceptance. It was the most unorganized process I've ever experienced, but I'd like to think this is due to 1 inefficient recruiter. Applied in August and received an email request for a phone interview 2 weeks later. About a week later I received an email request from a different recruiter for a face-to-face interview in Indianapolis. Within a day or so they had organized my flight and hotel and forwarded me interview confirmation. I interviewed about a week later. The interview was easy. They asked questions about my background, told me about the position and their expectations and gave me a brief tour of the facility. Most of the discussion was me asking questions. The day after my interview I received an email from the initial phone interview recruiter stating that I will no longer be in contact with her (or the second recruiter) but will need to contact a new person going forward. okay.... I received an offer the next day via phone, but didn't receive the letter for a week. I countered the very next day and didn't receive an update for a week. This negotiation untimeliness made this process extremely long and tiring. When I was lucky enough to get in touch with the new recruiter she was disorganized and untimely. We went back and forth over PTO, base salary and start date. Start date constantly changed because it took so long for them to counter. Final paperwork was signed on week 10 and I started 2-3 weeks later.
