I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at National Grid (Warwick, West Midlands, England) in Jun 2019
Interview
Day long assessment centre following an existing formula that they use. The whole process felt redundant since the staff were mollycoddling one of the interviewees whose parent worked at the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a case study from which you had to make a poster and present it to two interviewers
Extremely unprofessional with a complete lack of respect for a graduate’s time. Firstly, I passed the initial screening and online test stages before submitting a recorded interview in November. I then received an email in early December to ask if I was available on a specific date in January, in the event that I was shortlisted for the job. I replied to confirm my availability and made sure to keep the date free. I did this for 7 weeks without further communication until the day before the interview date when I was informed that I had not been selected. The hiring team showed a disregard for their future employees’ time and personal life.

Question 1
General situational questions (tell me about a time that you…)
First Hirevue, then email saying you have been forwarded to the hiring manager, then interview day with case interview with 2 other candidates, after you get contacted in a few weeks about the decision.
first round was a recorded interview with a number of question second round was with two staffs third round was with a group of other interviewees to do a group interview
