      Warwick, West Midlands, England

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at National Grid (Warwick, West Midlands, England) in Nov 2025

      Interview

      One interview with two more senior engineers. One of my interviewers was lovely but the other was rather condescending, spoke to me like I was a child and kept asking slightly odd niche technical questions that I felt were worded in a way as to try and deliberately trip me up. I was told they were hiring many people for this role so this feels like a cheap and unfair way to try and whittle down the candidates.

      Two steps, One technical interview with two panel members, you'll get a few questions that lead to conversations to assess your depth, but all questions are relevant to the job. They're trying to understand how you solve problems and also your experience. I thoroughly enjoyed it
