A 4hr assessment day that contained individual interviews, multiple group tasks (Including a threat assessment and delivery back to assessors) and an individual analysis and presentation exercise where you are given a written task for you to interpret and flesh out (1 to 1).

Applied in October and passed the initial tests. Heard nothing until I was informed in January that they are receiving a high influx of applications. Come February I had heard nothing still, so sent in a ticket to see how the process is going. No response to the ticket, until today I was told they are not interested in taking my application further. Absolutely awful that I had been waiting for so long and was ultimately ignored when I requested an idea of what stage my application was at. Furthermore I am a student with two internships of experience in Defence engineering and gained a First Class with Honours degree from a Redbrick. Fortunately I've accepted an offer with another Defence company, one whom actually cared for the talent they were searching for. Call me spiteful all you want, but if you want to join a company whose HR team obviously have no idea what they're doing, look no further than BAE systems.
