I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at National Grid in Jul 2024
Interview
Contacted for a panel interview a couple of weeks after applying. Interviewers were great folks and honestly really enjoyable. Despite multiple attempts to contact the recruiter for a follow up/at least a rejection, I never heard from them again
The whole process felt like a sham and they needed to tick a box. Recruiter who reached out had the title of Recruiter Manager, but treated the whole interview like a joke, and constantly butted in. Advanced me to the second round in person, and they couldn't even get the analytics manager on the call. Instead they had me go in person, and the whole time they were reading the questions and filing in a packet. Couldn't feel more blatantly like they were ticking a box with a candidate to meet certain requirmenets. If you decide to try to work for national grid, watch your back
Thorough. Robust. Friendly interviewers. Humanistic. It was very back and forth. They were not intimidating and open to debate. I met the HR manager first then the hiring manager. I was not keen on the position but it was a great experience.
They sent over a virtual interview portal with some basic questions, such as tell me about yourself and why do you want work here. I also had to do some games to test IQ and memory.
