      Finance Graduate Scheme Interview

      28 Nov 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at British Airways in Nov 2022

      Interview

      Have unlimited preparation time but the interview system is poor. You cannot record your questions as the system suddenly prohibited you. The interview process is fast as only 3 questions to answer.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Share a time when you have worked in a team towards achieving an objective and how would you apply this to working at BA? We welcome any relevant example you have from work, education, or even hobbies.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Imagine you have just returned from a 1-week holiday. You return to 200 emails but only have enough time to reply to 30. Which emails would you respond to and why?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Share the main challenges that you see the airline industry facing over the next 5 years.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at British Airways in Apr 2021

      Interview

      First you complete a series of online tests then a video interview- if successful you’re invited to an assessment Centre ( this was conducted online due to COVID). The whole day lasted roughly 4 hours, this included a 1 hour interview and a 10/15 minute presentation, the remainder of the time was pretty pointless. First you are asked to present your work in front of 2 assessors, one of my assessors was incredibly rude and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. He was so rude that it made me flustered and I couldn’t answer questions properly because I felt so belittled. BA should monitor who they allow to interview candidates it is an interviewers job to represent the brand and make possible future employees feel comfortable, his behaviour considerably tarnished the reputation of BA-this is something that needs to be addressed! I wish I could remember his name as I would write in a formal complaint about his behaviour but unfortunately I do not. On a lighter note, my interviewers were lovely and made me feel a lot better. I’m glad I continued after being so put off by the previous assessors behaviour because I left thinking slightly better things about BA following conversions with the other managers. I have not been told the outcome of my interview as of yet.
