      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      28 Jun 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Filton, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Filton, England) in Apr 2011

      Interview

      About 2 months after I applied online, I was contacted to have an interview on-site. The interview was with the team leader and another mechanical engineer. First they asked some competency questions (e.g. give an example of a work situation where you had to act differently). It was followed by some technical questions based on the understanding of their work. There was a part about the function of different parts of an engine assembly, and another shorter part about manufacturing processes. I was told that I would be contacted within 3 weeks. I actually had to chase them myself after 6 weeks to be told the process had been delayed. After a further 4 weeks I had to contact them again and was promised to be updated that same week. The week after, still having heard nothing, I called back and I was told on the telephone that I would receive an email with an update within half an hour. I received an email about 2 minutes later saying my application had been rejected with no explanation whatsoever!!! Needless to say my request for an explanation is at this day unanswered. I enjoyed the interview, the technical people were nice and the job sounded ok although restricted to a small area of knowledge. However the engineers were really let down by HR and this honestly put me off. I will rate this as a negative experience because overall it didn't give me a good image of the company. The company has expanded recently and has a lot of buildings, however the building this job was in was quite old and derelict.

      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Rolls-Royce

      Interview

      Applied online in December. Was invited to an in-person interview in January. The overall process and communication were straightforward. There were 2 interviewers, both of them are engineers. The questions covered behaviour (why us, why this role) and technical (explain how you would design a component, what are the limitations of this design etc).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions about how I would use FEM to model the component, what boundary conditions, material models etc. And behaviour questions like why join the company, how do I align with the company's values.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Bengaluru) in Jan 2025

      Interview

      Turbine based questions: design stategies, pressure maps, components of turbine, types of turbine. Earlier projects,questions based on CV. All the major questions were are on turbines only its diagrams and major components and valves in turbine.

      Question 1

      Behavioral round was quite off track to deal with, I couldn't get the right way to answer those questions. Technical round was easy.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Derby, England) in Jul 2024

      Interview

      Interview was good, asked all the standard questions and asked specific questions by my CV. The technical question was tricky but they were just looking for how you approved the problem rather than finding the correct answer.
