BAE systems 2023 intake

Scroll to see replies

Hi! I couldn't see a thread for Summer Internships, but it is still 2023 intake so I hope it is alright to post here!

Anyone applying for Project Management roles? I was surprised they are doing HireVues without a cover letter, but I guess it is a nice break from having to write them in all other applications. This makes me believe that the HireVue and subsequent interviews will act more like a cover letter, which is a great as I think it will allow me to better display my motivation and competencies.

I am graduating this year but opted for Summer Internship rather than the grad role as I feel that it aligns better with my experiences, and should I perform well in the summer role, I am confident that I will be able to secure something long term with BAE (if it is something I wish to pursue of course).

How was the HireVue for those applying to PM? Could you tell me a bit about the questions asked?

Good luck to everyone! i hope it is going smoothly for you all. I know it is a difficult time with managing multiple applications...

What did you apply for? I had mine 3 weeks ago and I phoned up a few days ago but the recruiter said that they are still processing it.... I'm not sure if that's a soft rejection

Cool, what sorta questions were asked for the technical questions?

Describe a time you made a mistake that impacted someone else? (Use STAR)
Can you explain what category management and how it would be beneficial to you role?
What is mrp (material requirements planning)?

can’t remember if there was another one but the rest were behavioural questions!
it says the interview will be around 1hr 20mins but it’s actually 40mins.

what role have you applied to and where?

i had my hirevue and telephone interview (november 2022) and applied for airframe (may 2023) in warton, but this evening they told me that the role was oversubscribed (KEK) and i needed to choose an alternate role instead.

even the air simulation one was oversubscribed -_- it's not even on the website. KEK.

submitted my second choice and i'm hoping for the best (and for you too)

Its all role specific. The 3 questions they ask are related to the job description and also touches on the professional qualification you study. They'll ask what you know about it and how to go about studying

Hey everyone, is anyone else applying for the software engineer role? I had my hirevue interview on Saturday and still waiting for a reply back. Were your interviews virtual or face to face?

All behavioural. Stick to the STAR technique and they will literally phrase the question as "tell me about a time xyz" etc theres one about making a mistake and the common ones like teamwork.
