      Defense Engineering Positions Interview

      18 Aug 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bristol, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Bristol, England) in Aug 2012

      Interview

      Had a telephone interview with two interviewers, where I answered the following questions: a. About a Compressor Blade Failure, b. Three of my skills, that I consider most important for the specific opening. Was invited in the assessment center in Bristol, UK where I had: a. Made a presentation about myself, b. Had a technical interview with two parts, one was technical questions related to different experiences I had during my career. The second part consisted of technical questions related to a drawing of a specific gas turbine engine (Adour). c. Took a verbal test that was very time demanding. d. Had a group test, to construct a bridge that would carry balls (table tennis, tennis, cotton reel) from a point A on a table to point B on a different table next to the previous one (40 cm apart).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The technical interview was very demanding, with difficult questions concerning various failures of a gas turbine engine. Also the verbal test was very time demanding and couldn't finish it all within the 20 min period.
