I applied online. I interviewed at SMC Corporation (Milton Keynes, England) in Jun 2016
Interview
A full day assessment centre starting with a brief tour of their products in the show room, several quizzes and assessments to gauge our performance, and a free lunch. This is followed by giving a presentation to a couple managers about a topic of our own choosing, and then several smaller interviews with separate departments to gauge us about our ability to understand the products we would be working on (Actuators and valves). The assessment day was concluded with an interview with the lead manager of the subsidiary.
