      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Jacobs (London, England) in May 2017

      Interview

      Starts with a 15 minutes Presentation. After that a group exercise (4 candidates have to discuss placement of a sustainable housing project, have to take 5-6 key points into consideration, 15 mins discussion, 5 mins presentation) Next step is a one hour interview with two engineers. There are general and technical questions. They are really supportive and give you a short time to think as well. Lastly, there is an SHL numerical and report writing test, 20 minutes each. The whole process takes about 3 hours.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      Talk about yourself, introduce who you are. Talk briefly about you education/previous job. In technical part: Give a general idea of your dissertation (or similar project during university)
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Tell about a time you had an original idea, a invented or did something new. Tell about a time you did something extra above your responsibilities, when you went beyond your tasks.
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Tell about a time when you had to rely on someone else. Tell about a time when you missed a deadline.
      Answer question

      Question 4

      What would you need to consider, what data would you need in a project replacing an intersection with a roundabout? How would you compare the characteristics of traffic in urban environment vs a suburban one? How would you present a project to a client, what structure, points would you follow?
