J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Jacobs (Reading, Angleterre) en févr. 2015
Entretien
15 minute presentation on Jacobs. They then asked four of us in a group to brainstorm a discussion regarding 'the problems facing engineers at present' - the group was a mixture of different job interviewees. I was then taken off to a room with 2 members of staff and asked the following questions; interviewers were very friendly and helped calm my nerves.

Entretien
Video interview with recorded answers and then a one hour in person interview with 3 interviewers. Relatively friendly and informal, asked quite standard interview questions. A bonus 15 minute video interview was added to discuss CV experience. Received generic rejection email a month later. Overall a positive experience, but they didn't provide feedback for the interview when requested, even though on Gradcracker it says they've signed the feedback pledge.

Entretien
There was a psychometric test first and an interview. It was initially getting to know each other kind with some technical questions in the second part. They were looking for general knowledge about the subject and some on the spot analytical thinking. Overall, I was made comfortable and it was a good interview.
