Once you have past these and been reviewed you are invited to an assesment day at Rolls-Royce.

And a hour group exersice task which you are observed upon.

Question 1
What have you heard of Rolls-Royce recently in the news
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce in Dec 2025
Interview
Long assessment centre, but the interviewers were very nice and the questions were standard soft skills questions. There was a group meeting at the beginning to introduce everybody, was a calm experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Bristol, England) in Oct 2025
Interview
Just to clarify, at the time of writing this, i had passed this interview and am waiting for the next interview. This was the first interview where you had to choose whether you agreed with one of 2 statements. These statements often had no correlation with eachother and asked questions that did not matter in a job/engineering context. I'm sure it's done this way on purpose to force you to choose the lesser of 2 evils but I often chose things I don't agree with.

Question 1
I think my jokes are funny but not everyone else does - I can charm anyone if I need a favor
Relatively relaxed environment, asked some technical questions related to the department applied but largely answerable just got to know what the department is focused on. Other than that, not much behavioural questions were asked, so can just prepare your experiences.
