I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce
Interview
Video interview (pre recorded questions and answers), phone call with HR manager, and assessment center in Goodwood.
Overall very positive experience on the day, thoroughly enjoyed the interview process and day in general, but follow up process was very unprofessional. I was told everyone would be contacted in the next 3 days as they did "not want to keep people waiting" to be informed if you were successful or not.
I received a call the same day from the hiring manager saying they were very interested in me for the position, and even called me back for another interview for an additional job. After this I did not hear from them for 3 weeks, e-mails were ignored and I eventually had to ring HR myself to find out I was unsuccessful and was not given any feedback on my interview when asked. Other applicants received the same treatment. Very upset with the level of unprofessionalism in informing candidates, successful or not.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Derby, Inglaterra) in Jun 2016
Interview
Applied online through the online application process. Was later informed that I had passed the first stage and was invited to an assessment center in Derby. Unfortunately I left all my interview notes on the train ! However I was notified I had been offered the position about 1 week after the assessment center. It consisted of two timed group exercises, there were 10 of us and we split in to 2 groups of 5. One task was construction a paper bridge that was required to hold a 500ml water bottle in the centre. I had a prepared presentation that was done to 2 assessors. There was a 1:1 technical interview and also a 1:1 competency based interview . Overall it was an intense experience and remains one of the more challenging interview processes I've been through .
