Question 1
No difficult questions, questions were more to get you to think. Basic understanding of the different names of plastics and their forming processes, as well as an idea of home Dyson products work (like the cyclones). Demonstrate an understanding of basic mechanisms also.
The interview was made up of four questions. It was an online recorded interview that took place on the hirevue platform. It also included game-based assessments. It took about 30 minutes to complete.
