I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Derby, Inglaterra) in Mar 2015
Interview
The interview was held at Derby County football stadium. There was many more candidates than I had expected but after chatting to a few of them I realised we were all from a similar background and in the same boat.
We were all led to a room where we sat in a VIP box overlooking the pitch. After a short while I was called into a separate room. I was quite confident to start as I had some previous RR working experience. After a very short period I realised things were going horrible wrong and I began to sink into my chair. The younger lad asking the questions was pleasant but sitting next to him the older man "Value Stream Manager" tore apart every answer I gave even arguing at one stage.
After the interview I was lead back to the room where we were split into groups and given a group exercise of making a bridge to carry a ping pong ball across 2 tables. That also went horribly wrong.
On a whole I am glad I did not get offered this job as that was my worst interview I have ever been to.
I was really struggling to understand how they could decide I was a good mechanical fitter from the questions they asked and the group exercise.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Indianapolis, IN) in Sep 2015
Interview
I had a first round interview with HR where they asked me basic behavioral questions, except for a question where they asked me to name a current event and how it affects the company. It took them over two months to get back to me and schedule a second interview with an engineer. The second interview was much more lax with a few behavioral questions and questions about relevant school projects and previous experience.

Interview
One hour for personality interview, another 50 mins for group project, another 1 hour for technical interview. During the tech interview they'll ask some questions that you never heard and you need to show your thinking process to them. It's hard but their feedback said I did well on that part.
