Following the interview, I did not receive any communication regarding the outcome. Despite multiple attempts to reach out to the interviewers, I was unable to get a response. Eventually, I contacted the hiring manager, who informed me that the decision was based on my need for sponsorship. However, I was never asked to confirm my visa status during the process. Furthermore, no recruiter contacted me prior to the interview to clarify any such requirements.
As I am based in Boston, I took an Uber for the two-hour round trip to the Northborough office, which cost me $140.
While I respect the decision made, I believe there was a lack of clarity throughout the process, and I wanted to share this feedback in the hope it improves the experience for future candidates.

Interview
Job description changed twice – unbelievably long process. Management seem inept and clearly lack any understanding of talent, strategy and commercial understanding. Do not bother applying here, it's a complete waste of time from start to finish. Nepotism is rife!
I applied in-person. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at National Grid (Warwick, West Midlands, England) in Mar 2025
Interview
applied for a graduate project manager role and the process was fare. I think a good interview process for a graduate role is being done by National Grid, they were professional.
