I applied online. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Derby, Inglaterra) in Nov 2015
Interview
Having kindly been put up for the night, the day started at breakfast meeting other candidates (very easy to spot!)
All got a taxi over to the site together and mixed with the non-hotel folks briefly before "networking" with some of the interviewers over coffee.
The morning consisted of some HR stuff, resitting the numerical test and a personal interview with a prepared presentation and some competency questions.
More networking at lunchtime! A good chance to meet a lot of very interesting people with some cool experiences.
Then time for the technical interview. It was with one of the people that I'd spoken to at lunchtime which relaxed me a little but left me with no questions to ask at the end (I'd already probed all of his thoughts experiences and kind of wanted to escape at this point after floundering at a few of the technical questions!!)
Team exercise involved building a structure and there was a chance to speak to a graduate after that.
Enjoyable but absolutely exhausting day.
I wasn't for them though and when I phoned to arrange feedback they never got back to me

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Derby, Inglaterra)
Interview
After Cv check I had to do some online tests. Both about my personality and intelligence tests. Afterwards I got an invitation for an assessment centre on site. Including both technical and personal interviews, and a group assessment. I also had to give a short presentation about myself. I was given the opportunity to ask a lot of questions and tell them what I would expect of a work placement. Rolls Royce paid the travel costs and hotel etc. One week later they called with an offer.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Indianapolis, IN) in Sep 2015
Interview
Half hour long preliminary phone interview. Seemed more geared toward determining if I was a good philosophical/personality fit for their corporate culture. There also seemed to be a bit of "guidance" toward what might be an acceptable salary range to ask for, which was about $10K lower than I was thinking would be appropriate.
