I recently had the misfortune of being part of the National Grid Interview process. I was contacted about a month after I applied. My resume was outdated by the time they reached out to me. Upon first impression, it seemed like they were serious about finding a good candidate. The first round interview was about 45 minutes, with three interviewers reading questions from a script and taking notes. A lot of the interview felt like an interrogation session towards the middle. I didn't think I did too well. I had trouble hearing the interviewers' questions and responses throughout the meeting. A lot of questions during the first round interview involved telling me a trait about the company / role, and asking me how I can contribute. I was invited to the second round interview through email. A 20-30ish minute round with an individual who held a higher position within the company. I chose an interview time, and the confirmation that was sent back to me didn't show the same time that I selected on the slot. It's a good thing I looked at the time and date carefully. They silently scheduled the interview for a time I didn't select. Was this some sort of technical test to see if I paid attention to detail? I'm not sure. The interviewer was late to the interview. I can't say I was surprised. There weren't really any technical questions, the exact opposite of what was stated in my interview confirmation. No excel assessment as far as I was aware. Both rounds were mostly behavioral questions, such as "tell me about a time you did ___". There was one single technical question towards the end of the second interview, and from the wording of their question, the interviewer didn't seem to believe I would be able to answer it properly. I gave my response, and got a nod of approval that you get when something is answered correctly. The interviewer also at one point, cut me off while I was answering one of their questions. I'm not sure what the point of that was. Why be a part of the interview if you aren't going to put your best foot forward to find a candidate? During the interview, that individual stated that the company hires internally and promotes a diverse set of employees. Yea, I didn't really get that impression. I received a follow up email about a week later. If you receive an interview invite or offer from this company, I would tread carefully, with lots of caution. Good luck!
