      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Thales (Crawley, West Sussex, South East England, England) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      I completed the standard online assessment tests, followed by a half day at an assessment centre. The assessment day was very relaxed, with a short presentation about the company, a group activity, and an interview with a HR person. None of the hiring managers were present however, so if I had 'passed' this stage, it would have been necessary to attend another interview. Otherwise, it was very professionally organised and everyone was very nice!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe a time when you had to resolve a conflict.
      Answer question
      1

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Thales in Mar 2023

      Interview

      Very simple telephone interview just making sure you're a real person and asked a few competency questions. Assessment centre was 9am until around 3pm consisting of 2 individual interviews, one competency and one technical, also there were 2 group tasks discussion based. They told us they would reach a decision just over a week after the assessment centre however I received nothing, I emailed them 1 month after the assessment and didn't get a reply. I emailed again after another month had passed and they said they'd let me know in a week (it was 2 weeks). I also didn't receive any feedback on the interviews even though they assured us we would.

      Interview questions [2]

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Thales

      Interview

      HR phone interview followed by a full day on site interview which included a one on one with a manager and a group interview with around 5 other candidates. Took around a few weeks for HR to come back with a decision.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Group interview wasn't engineering related, from memory it was to do with promoting an event/product. Mainly to observe how you communicate, work in a team and problem solve. This was then followed by a presentation of the solution.
