The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mott MacDonald (Croydon, England) in Feb 2017
Interview
I was referred from another interview I gave with Mott MacDonald to their Croydon office. This interview was conducted over the telephone and didn't require me to travel like the first one did, as I already attended their assessment day in Cambridge.
The interview was mostly competency based and also asked about my experience in the design of ports.

one on one q and a, composed of technical questions and softcore skills, made to test ones knowledge.
They attempt to see what you want to gain from taking on this job and etc

Question 1
why mott macdonald? and what do you know about our values
The first step involved doing many things as a group - in other words, a group exercise. Together, as a group, we did group-esque things such as group activities. Then I participated in an interview in which my behaviour was assessed in a non-technical manner - commonly referred to as an interview. Hope this helps!
