Candidates interviewing for stagaire and rated their interviews as the hardest, whereas interviews for stagaire and roles were rated as the easiest.
The interview was a mix of technical and situational questions, starting with the classic "Tell me about yourself," which allowed me to introduce my background and skills. The second question was more focused on the internship, assessing my technical knowledge and how it aligns with the role. The third was a situational question, designed to evaluate my problem solving and decision making abilities, where I was asked how I would manage a specific scenario.

Question 1
Can you tell us about yourself and your background?
How does your knowledge and experience relate to this internship?
How would you handle a challenging situation or manage a team effectively?
I applied online. I interviewed at Airbus in Oct 2024
Interview
Invited to do a one way video interview to support my application. Was then invited to a panel interview with two managers. Followed a week or so later by an interview with the head of the department. I was advised I would hear back by the end of the following week - received an email the following week saying they needed another week. Then radio silence. I followed up with the head of the department - no response received. Then 2 weeks later followed up with members of my panel interview who advised there was a delay and I would hear back in the coming weeks and I haven't heard anything since. Original interview was in October (if my memory serves) and last follow up was December. Pretty disappointing. Would have really valued a follow up call and feedback if I wasn't successful after three interviews.
