Rbs 2017

Hi, I have a telephone interview with RBS for Analysis and Business Solutions but for the Summer Internship programme. I just wanted to ask whether your interview was a strengths-based interview and the sort of questions they asked? Congrats for passing the telephone interview!

Thank you

The telephone interview is a strengths-based interview. From what I remember the first questions are motivational questions like "Why RBS?" and "Why are you applying for this role?" Then the other questions they ask are about specific qualities like for integrity/honesty they asked me to give an example of a time where I did the right thing or for customer service they asked for an example of when I gave excellent customer service. I remember finding some questions that people were asked in their telephone interviews on Glassdoor

Hi,

I'm applying for a graduate position in analysis and business solutions and was wondering if anyone has attended an assessment centre this year? I passed their telephone interview stage a couple weeks ago but have not heard anything since.

Have you been invited to an AC yet? I am still waiting to be shortlisted, having passed the telephone interview late November.

Hi, I've got an assessment centre for next week - also HR. What did the day include? Also were you able to specify your preferred location for the scheme? Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much!! How long after the day did they make you an offer? Fingers crossed it goes well. I currently live in Manchester so I was hoping I could stay here and maybe only have to do one rotation up in Edinburgh did they tell you when they'd let you know where you'd be based and do they map out the rotations for you if that makes sense? Or do you find out as the scheme progresses? Thanks again

Great thanks! I hope I can just have the one rotation in Edinburgh - if I get it! Are you pretty much flexible to move around? I moved here after uni so don't really wanna relocate for any more than 6 months. Thanks again for your help, maybe I'll see you in September if I get through this Thursday!

Sorry to pester you again but I meant to ask - did they retest the logical and numerical etc? I'm out of practice with them so if so it'd be useful to go over some tonight if they do!

Hi, is anyone attending the AC in Edingburgh on february 20, which is in 4 days?

analysis and business solutions

Hi
The day involved a group discussion about making an app for online banking, then you had to do an individual 10min presentation based upon the group discussion. An interview and then some case study tasks on a computer which required you to respond to emails.
The tasks were all ok actually just a lot of waiting about in between. There are 12 candidates and 6 assessor and then one person running it all.
No you can't specify your location, and this is something I've found misleading about the scheme. You actually do 4 6month rotations across their locations primarily in Manchester and Edinburgh. So you could end up in Manchester for 6 months then have to move to Edinburgh for a year before going back to Manchester for your final placement. They said they place people based upon the needs of the business (understandable) but I don't think they've made it very clear the way their location works. I was under the impression, when I applied, that I would be given a location (which I could state a preference of) and be based there for 2 years- but that's not the case.
Hope that makes sense!
Good luck
