      FPGA Engineer Interview

      25 Sept 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Derby, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Derby, England) in Aug 2024

      Interview

      The interview itself was a good experience, and the interviewers were friendly and personable. We had an enjoyable conversation. Sadly the Rolls-Royce recruitment team can only be described as a disorganised shambles. None of them seemed to know what they were doing, and they clearly weren't talking to each other. I had multiple calls from different people on the same day, delivering precisely the same information, because nobody had talked to anyone else or updated the logs. One offered travel expenses but never came back to me about it. When I enquired about it, they were confused and said 'did someone offer that?'. Following the interview, I was left hanging for more than a month, and when I finally heard from the team it was to try and generate my interest in a similar role in a different location. She had no clue that I was still waiting for the result from my interview, but agreed to look into the matter and find out what had gone wrong. Several days later I got a bland, impersonal, and automated rejection e-mail starting with 'Please do not use this email address for replies as they won't reach us.' My encounter with Rolls-Royce was therefore disappointing. The role and the company were both of interest, but the whole thing was torpedoed by their own recruitment staff.
