Applications Engineer, Engineering Services at Morgan Advanced MaterialsRead the full review »
Application Advice:
The application is a pretty standard template for grad applications. If you're familiar with the format that helps. Make sure to highlight key basic skills like organisation, decision making, communication etc.
Interview Advice:
Don't try and be the loudest/most forceful person in the room during group exercises (there will be several), ultimately interviewers will just see you as abrasive. You may end up working for who is interviewing you (my boss interviewed me) so you should come across as someone who would be good to work with. You do need to show participation and contribution however, so be active in group exercises.
For interviews, explain your reasoning and thought process where possible. For technical problem solving exercises, don't worry so much about being right as long as you can show logical reasoning. Avoid giving very short answers unless it's obvious you should do so. Think about the kind of questions you might get asked based on your CV/application so you have a good answer ready. It's also good if you can refer back to points on your CV as it shows you know it well.

Technology Analyst, Centre of Excellence (Research and Development) at Morgan Advanced MaterialsRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Research the business - we have a long history of innovation, change and engineering expertise in areas most would overlook. As a business, we do not make large parts or complete 'products' but all of our components are essential to the workings of the modern world.
Illustrate why you want the job clearly - why do you want to be a leader? What are your career aims? You need to consider this carefully before you apply.
The Graduate programme is 2.5 years long, in which you will have a minimum of two placements lasting 6-12 months. If you want to stay in one location then this isn't the job for you! Opportunities are global though considerations can be made if you wanted to remain within Europe only for example.
Interview Advice:
Be prepared to show examples of leadership - don't worry if you haven't managed people before. Leadership could be in a variety of everyday challenges be it taking part in a sports team, helping others in a difficult situation or working on a project!
Be yourself - you will be taking a psychometric test as part of the application, and your interview will be based on the outcome of this. Be honest and stay true to yourself - the interviewers will know if you're not!
Look smart - it's an obvious point but one that many forget! Iron your shirt, wear a tie, get your suit dry-cleaned etc. We understand that people often have to travel for interviews, but this is not an excuse to be scruffy!
Be prepared - the day will include multiple challenges both individually and as a team; make sure you are prepared for presentations, 1:1 sessions, group tasks, etc.

Team Leader Metallization, Production at Morgan Advanced MaterialsRead the full review »
Application Advice:
It's an obvious statement, but make sure you know the company! Morgan isn't a household name, but the company's products are everywhere and span across a large number of markets/sectors. Make sure you know about the history of the company, as well as the engineering and material solutions that Morgan offer.
Demonstrate your strengths and sell yourself. Don't be arrogant, but ensure that your achievements are set out for all to see (as long as they are relevant)!
Ensure you know what you want from your career. Do you want to be a leader of the company, or do you want to become a technical expert? There are several questions you should ask yourself prior to applying for the grad schemes at Morgan: What are my skill sets? Do I want to lead others and if so, in what way? Am I wanting a technical position or something different?
Interview Advice:
Be prepared! You're going to be challenged and questioned heavily during the assesment centres and interviews!
Ensure you have some good examples in your mind of when you have excelled in a leadership/team role and what you have learnt from this. This even stretches back to before university education in terms of academic decisions and of course, going though your CV with a fine tooth comb!
First impressions go a long way - dress smart, be polite and consider emotional intelligence...if you don't know what this is, do some studying.
Product Engineer, Engineering at Morgan Advanced MaterialsRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Research the company well and make sure that it's a company that you want to work for. Be prepared for a challenge and make sure you have examples of leadership / team work and other useful skills in the forefront of your mind.
Morgan expects a lot from its graduates and you should expect a lot from Morgan, don't be afraid to ask questions and find out if the role is really right for you.
Interview Advice:
The interviews are not designed to catch you out, you can learn a lot about the company on the website and reading financial reports. Be relaxed and be yourself, prepare some questions for your interviewer and for the assessment centre - have a big breakfast! It's a challenging process but will really give you the opportunity to shine.
Morgan runs open days and mock assessment centres throughout the year, if you can - join one.

Application Advice:
1. Say the truth.
2. Selling yourself effectively is helpful, but if you overdo it, your actions will have to match what you say at the fairly lengthy assessment centre. So present yourself well, but don't say more than you need to.
Interview Advice:
1. Be yourself. You already have the knowledge and skills necessary for the job. It's the person that counts.
2. Seek advice from those who've been to assessment centres. Don't try to be someone you're not, nor should you sell skills that you barely have.
3. Be honest. If you don't know something, just say so. Don't pretend that you do. Then again, don't go there not knowing anything. Research the company, its markets and its products.

Engineer, at Morgan Advanced MaterialsRead the full review »
Application Advice:
To be on the Morgan Graduate scheme you require a high level of technical competency as a minimum benchmark. In addition to this, because the sceme is designed to create the future leaders of the company, good interpersonal skills are fairly essential. You must display an ability talk confidently and coherently, present your work effectively and be able to network.
Interview Advice:
The MOST important thing at the interview is to be yourself. Although this is cliched, the interview process is quite effective in finding the most suitable candidates so if you get rejected, it is probably because you wouldn't be happy here. Equally, if you don't show everything you have to offer the process cannot get an accurate assessment of you as a person.
The Assessment centre comprises of technical questions, individual presentations and group projects. Each of these tests your interpesonal and technical skills.

Applications Engineer, Engineering Services at Morgan Advanced MaterialsRead the full review »
Best:
Lots of opportunity to travel and work abroad. Good internal networking between managers. New executive board putting greater emphasis on R&D and reinvesting into the company. Lots of reorganization going on in the company so it is a good time to join.
Worst:
Parts of the company feel behind on technology and manufacturing capability and are now playing catch up with industry as a result of previously not investing in R&D and automation (improving but likely a way away).
Sites don't communicate particularly well. The only way you find out about projects/technology in other parts of the business is through word of mouth.

Best:
1) Travel all over India and interact with a plethora of clients to broaden my perspective.
2) Attend leadership training at different locations all over the world under the Graduate Leadership Program.
3) The ownership and independence I work with to deliver results for my projects.
Worst:
1) A hierarchical lobby in my work-site. Though the top management is accessible, it gets difficult when some of my suggestions in spite of being worthwhile are brushed aside by immediate superiors.
2) The travel policy at my work site - the HR does not have corporate associations with hotels, airlines within India and a lot of time is wasted in booking hotels, flights on my own.

Best:
Focus on developing people, sustainable business, good growth opportunities, innovative and ambitious. Morgan develop key differentiated solutions for their customers all over the world which make it a very unique company that is always looking for unique products and solutions.
Worst:
Not much, I think it is a great company but if I was to pick something it would be the lack of collaboration between different divisions. Collaboration is now a key aspect of our business and this is something that is improving every year due to real effort being put into forming global teams. It is good to see that Morgan are always trying to improve and it makes me feel motivated as an employee.
