      Human Resources Interview

      Mar 5, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Norfolk, VA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at BAE Systems (Norfolk, VA) in Jan 2012

      Interview

      Two interviews. First is a pre screen to look at salary and qualification by the recruiting team. The second interview is with the manager to discuss specifics. They don't do reference checks usually but you need to have them ready. Military experience is a plus since they are a defense contractor.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at BAE Systems

      Interview

      I was informed over the phone that my profile was suited for the position. I had to take a half day leave and commute 1 hour for a face to face interview. The interview was initially going fine until the interviewer informed me that based on my resume, I did not have the experience they required. He suggested that I consider another vacant position which was much more junior than what I was currently doing. This was extremely offensive as I would not have even agreed to this interview had I know I was never going to be considered for this position. To add onto that, the recruiters failed to even collect my access card to the office after I have exited the premise. As a Security company I would expect it's employees to be concerned over company assets. The whole experience has just been awful.

      Portsmouth, South East England, England

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at BAE Systems (Sydney) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      Got phone screened by a BAE recruiter and then was invited in for the interview on a Tuesday. I was told during the interview by the BAE recruiter that I would heard buy the end of the week, this didn't happen. It took multiple phone calls and 3 weeks for me to get any outcome from BAE HR, very very poor candidate care.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BAE Systems (Portsmouth, South East England, England) in Apr 2014

      Interview

      Applied online, application asked for examples of when you've shown leadership / resolved a problem etc. Then a telephone interview which is competency based and asks you why you want to work for the company. After that, I was invited to an interview the Naval base in Portsmouth (very cool!) Was interviewed by two really nice interviewers who have done the grad scheme so you can ask them questions about it. Again, competency based. There is also an e-tray that you take at the time. A week later I had a follow up Telephone Interview.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Basic competency questions. When they phone you for a telephone interview make sure you know WHERE you are actually applying.
