First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Edwards.
Graduate Engineer
The interview process consisted of two steps, the first was online and included a personality test, a logic test, and a virtual asynchronous interview. Next was a visit to the job site where there was a 1 hour interview, a business simulation, and a 10 minute presentation.
- How would you handle a difficult team member?
- What's your strategy for managing multiple responsibilities?
Graduate Engineer
The selection day had a group exercise to check communication skills in a team, an individual exercise to see how you tackle a field-related question, and then a presentation followed by an interview where they asked a lot about weaknesses and unexpected situations.
- Can you tell me about a time something unexpected happened and how you handled it?
- Have you ever had to work in a team on a project related to your field of study? Describe that situation.
- What are your biggest weaknesses?
Graduate Engineer
The admin lady for the Eastbourne site who handles bookings and expenses is really difficult to work with; she doesn’t reply to emails unless you chase her constantly. She tells you what you want to hear but doesn't follow through. I only checked Glassdoor after booking to see other reviews about her and expense issues, which unfortunately happened to me too. My expenses were high as I had to fly and stay overnight. She just ignored emails for 7 months until a different lady, who ran the assessment day, sorted it out. This was a poor experience compared to other assessment centres that covered hotels and taxis and paid expenses quickly. The assessment day started with an intro, then we assembled a model car kit under pressure with added time. Next was a communication task where we were blindfolded to find missing shapes from a set. Then, a Q&A session with a manager due to computer issues. Finally, in groups, we designed a paper bridge to hold M16 nuts, estimating the paper needed beforehand. Our group won by rolling paper tubes and taping them.
