      Undergraduate Engineering Placement Interview

      6 Mar 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at JLR in Dec 2022

      Interview

      Had an online interview which began with me giving a presentation about JLR, then an interview later in the day. The interview was the worst i’ve ever had. The interviewer turned up late and didn’t apologise. They were rude and kept interrupting, even telling me to stop looking for answers on my computer, which I was not doing. They repeatedly were looking away and typing, then asking me to repeat what I had said. The questions asked were extremely vague and had no relevance to me or how I would perform in the position. I was also not given any opportunity to ask questions myself. The entire experience was a complete interrogation and it seemed they had forgotten that they were talking to a real person. The experience made me extremely nervous for future interviews but have since had numerous good experiences with other companies and have become more confident again. A big shame as I always loved the thought of working at JLR.

      Engineering Undergraduate Placement/ Interview

      14 Feb 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Coventry, England
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at JLR (Coventry, England) in Jan 2022

      Interview

      first stage CV and cover letter were fine, online assessment was hard but straightforward. Then the 'technical assessment', which was giving a 15-minute presentation with questions on it afterwards, took a long time to prepare for, and felt very impersonal. Lastly there was a final interview, which again felt like speaking to a robot, as they would ask questions from a set sheet of paper, then scribble answers for HR to read later. Didn't really feel like a conversation at all Was asked no technical questions in the entire experience, which goes to show the kind of people they are looking for. Multiple times emails were not answered, and I was sent the wrong documents multiple times, with many of the correct documents talking about the 'graduate application process' which I was not on, or talking about an 'assessment centre' which I didn't do. After the final interview, it took them 4 weeks to get back with an answer, without any word from them in that time despite attempts to reach them. And after a 4-month process, they decline to give any feedback on any stage, which is embarrassing for their HR department and frankly disrespectful. I would suggest not wasting your time with applying to the placement roles at JLR. It seems smaller companies have a much better process and treat their applicants with respect, with applications taking less than 2 weeks from submission, to interview, to offer/rejection.
