Pros

This review is meant to warn other candidates; apparently the hiring manager has no issues with ghosting potential candidates after interviewing them in person. After my interview, which seemed like it went very well, the HM let me know they’d be in touch. I waited for a phone call for a few weeks and did reached out to them, but was ignored. It’s a shame that this is standard practice now, to just ghost candidates without a second thought. A brief automated rejection email would’ve more than sufficed. It takes time to complete assessments, prepare for the interviews, and drive to the interview and spend time answering questions. So one would at least think that companies like National Grid would have at least the basic human courtesy to let you know if they’ve moved on. Instead they see nothing wrong with leaving you in limbo. Please do better.
