There were 4 categories.
1.) Preparing your camera and audio, reading instructions etc.
2.) Charity events. For this you are provided choices of events for an employee charity events with benefits and limitations for each. You need to pick one and decide why it is better than the other choices. Examples include, dress up gown event, charity football event. You then get scenarios where there are disruptions to your plans and how you will respond and adapt to each one.
3.) STEM event. This one sets you in a scenario where your manager has assigned you to be on an exhibition table representing MBDA at a careers fair. Its similar to the one above.
4.) Prioritizing tasks: This one is a bit different. This one sets you in a scenario where its your first month on the job and your manager has assigned you multiple tasks. Each task is listed with different difficulty levels and time frames. You are asked in which order of priority is the best and your reason.

For me it was difficult as I struggle to form quick answers coherently and english is not my first language!
Just be calm and in a warm environment where you wont be disrupted.

My native language is Bangladeshi. The town I grew up in, North west of England isn't really full of intelligent people or opportunities for career networking.

Has anyone else got a response back from MBDA for a graduate role? It's nearing the end of March, which is the latest they said to confirm, and I still have not yet heard back yet for an assessment centre. Anyone in the same boat?

When did you hear from them and if you don't mind me asking, what role did you apply for? Looks like the previous person deleted their post so I can't even ask them :frown:

I got rejected not too long ago. Can't remember the role. If you haven't been rejected yet take it as a VERY good sign. I applied to 40 places before getting a couple offers and the ones I did get offers for were out of nowhere assessment centres
