Transport for London Graduate Scheme Interview Questions | Glassdoor
Average interview
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Transport for London in Feb 2016
Interview
1) Application form - education and work history
2) Situational judgement test and numerical test - SJT was quite straightforward, remember to focus on how important transport is for London and TfL's motto 'Every journey matters'. The numerical test is a standard SHL test.
3) Video interview - this is made up of 6 questions. You are given time before you record your answer to prepare (see questions below)
4) Assessment centre - invited but haven't attended yet so will select no offer

Whole process took 5 months. Stage 1 is the form and your details. Stage 2 is the psychometric tests. Stage 3 is the prerecorded video interview questions.
Stage 4 is the assessment centre. Overall it was pretty disorganised, especially the AC stage. Candidates were not given a schedule for the day and not given breaks. HR staff started the day late and AC consisted of interview, presentation and group exercise. Took around 4hrs. It took them 2 weeks before releasing the result of the AC

Incredibly slow and uninformative. Information about each stage is passed across slowly. Invitations to next stage sometimes only allowed a few days in between with little flexibility.
