I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at MBDA (Bristol, England) in Aug 2021
Interview
Two stages;
A) Relaxed conversational phone-screen interview (45mins), allowed me to understand the role, company and team/project/programme/UK and wider company (FR, GR, and IT, mostly). Additionally the Agile Practice, its current aims, objectives and ambitions and my potential place and opportunities accordingly. And,
B) 90 min, Values Based Interview, reviewing the companies website in advance helped a lot regarding their Values and also preparing for a presentation on Agility/Scrum in Defence Hardware setting, challenges and advantages of it. In addition to a usual technical questions around Scrum, Agile and contextual questions to tease out my own knowledge and experiences.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
1) What are our (MDBA) Values? Which Value to you have most affinity with, and why?
4) How to deal with a pushy stakeholder, and then reframed the question several times, escalating the pushy behaviour no matter which ever answers I gave.
NB: The interviewer was pushy, whilst reframing these questions.
