Rolls-Royce interview questions

The interview and hiring process was amazing. The recruiters I met in previous months encouraged me throughout the process and re-iterated what Rolls-Royce was seeking in prospective candidates. After being invited to an assessment day, I was also provided with overnight accommodation as I was travelling in from London. During the assessment day, I was able to engage with Rolls-Royce employees on numerous occasions to build on my knowledge of the firm, its customers and projects. The 30-minute group exercise was particularly challenging as we failed to effectively manage the time and consequently failed to complete the group task and adequately prepare the short presentation. In hindsight, I would avoid spending more than 10 minutes planning as there is no right answer and the aim of the exercise is to see how well the individuals interact. It is more important to make positive contributions to the group and deliver. The assessors were less than 2 metres away! For the presentation and competency interview it is important to refer to your experiences on your CV and use these to demonstrate why you are a good fit for Rolls Royce. Experiences in the technical interview are variable so the interview would heavily depend on your interviewer, entry level and role. I chose to discuss three topics I was quite confident in. The technical content can range from jet engines to fluid mechanics to statistics.

A three person panel interview consisting of 1. Senior Manager. 2. Departmental Manager. 3. Human Resources Manager. The interview process was based on: (a) Establishing a candidates suitability towards the companies vision, mission and objectives driven culture on continually developing a successful materials technology. (b) Confirming a candidates suitability towards working effectively as part of a effective team independently (c) Determining whether a candidates personality, stability and resolve matched the companies declared requirement on ethics and security of disclosure.
