      Graduate Engineer Interview

      5 Feb 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Derby, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Derby, England)

      Interview

      Three parts to the assessment centre: 1:1 Competency interview, 1:1 Technical interview, Group exercise; with a casual lunch in between the interviews with the assessors. To start off we were introduced to the four assessors outside of the assessment centre area with refreshments. It was great to be introduced to them and have a chance to hear their experiences and career stories. It was relaxed and everyone was so nice so quickly put me at ease. Competency interview 5 min prepared presentation on my motivation for stating my career at Rolls Royce, my thoughts on how Rolls Royce can remain competitive and future challenges for the company. The assessor then asked me questions on my personal experiences, designed to extract some examples of skills I have used (team-working, communication, etc.), my knowledge of the company and my future ambitions. Technical interview I was re-asked a couple questions about my ambitions and what areas of engineering interested me. I was then asked to pick one topic area from a list. I was really poor here but I could tell that he just wanted to know how my mind works and how I got to the answer, as opposed to whether I was the smartest applicant or not. If you're struggling they will help to out and nudge you in the right direction. Group exercise Finally, after everyone's interview we were gathered in a meeting room with the four assessors onlooking. My advice here would be to plan, communicate, include everyone (especially if they are quieter), think logically and don't rush into it. Better to show that you are good at working through a task sensibly and calmly with a good teamworking skills than to complete the exercise in a mess. Everyone I came across was super helpful and nice, they got current graduates to come in and discuss their experiences so far. It really came across as an enthusiastic, communicative, well-resourced company for which I would be pleased to work. They were very quick to give feedback, asking for a time to call each of us at the end of the day and getting back to us within four days. On the feedback call they also gave the offer.

      Application

      I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Bristol, England)

      Interview

      Amazing friendly interviewer and felt that process was an evaluation of you as a person rather than a competition between applicants. The presentations were kept to a minimum whilst still giving insight as to what the company was like to work for

      Tell me about yourself both in and out of university

      Graduate Engineer Interview

      5 Jul 2025
      Anonymous employee
      Derby, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Derby, England) in Nov 2022

      Interview

      They had three parts: a case study, a presentation I had to prepare beforehand, and a standard interview. The process flowed well and gave me different ways to show what I could do. The whole interview felt thorough and well-structured. The case study was fair, and I appreciated getting to present something I'd researched myself. The interviewers were genuinely welcoming, and they answered all my questions about the role and company culture, which made it feel like a proper two-way conversation. One valuable aspect was meeting the other candidates online. It was good to see who else was going for the role and didn't feel competitive (more like getting a preview of potential teammates). The whole experience felt very professional and thoughtful. You can tell they put effort into their recruitment process, which says good things about how they treat their graduates once you're there. I learned a lot about the company and came away feeling more confident about what I want in my career. Would recommend applying if you're considering it - the process itself is worthwhile.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Explain a complex engineering problem you've solved and your approach Describe a time when you had to troubleshoot a technical issue Tell me about a time you worked effectively in a team Describe a situation where you had to take leadership of a project Give an example of when you had to solve a problem under pressure Tell me about a time you had to communicate complex technical information to non-technical people Describe a situation where you had to adapt to significant change
