Rolls-Royce interview questions

The Assessment Centre consisted of a 10 minute presentation about yourself and why Rolls-Royce should hire you. A competency based interview followed, with knowledge of the company tested. the next part of the day was to resit a numerical test and fill out some paperwork. The third task was a standard group activity with an objective and materials and a budget to buy and complete the task. A hour was then spent for lunch, with networking with assessors and other candidates important during this time. After lunch, there was a technical interview lasting an hour, based on subjects you enjoy, and probing you to go through your thought process for different problems.

I applied online for the position of Engineering Graduate Programme. Afterwards I had to take some online tests: behavioural and other IQ tests. After a month they sent me an email inviting me for an assessment centre in Berlin. At this assessment Centre there was an initial personal interview with common questions to know about yourself and how much you know about the company. Then, the 10 candidates were split in 2 groups to partecipate in a group competition were you had to build a structure capable of displacing 2 marbles from one side to the other of the table. The materials provided were: paper, string and plastic cups. Time limit: 45' Finally, a technical interview were they asked me about fatigue and heat transfer.
