I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at National Grid (Syracuse, NY) in Jan 2020
Interview
Starts with hour long interview with hiring managers, then group case study, and fun group exercise. Group case study involved being given a scenario and working with a group to create a presentation to solve the problem. The group exercise was going through a list of supplies you would take out of a burning airplane in the middle of a desert. Be prepared to voice your opinion and work with groups!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name an instance where you faced an ethical issue and how did you go about it?
AI interview for the first round that was behavioral but pretty specific and not a fun experience. Think we all prefer speaking to a real person. Decently hard to come up with examples in the moment as they were not prototypical behavioral questions.
I got the first round interview which is a online assessment, have 6 behavioral questions and 2 game question.
