I applied online. I interviewed at National Grid (Syracuse, NY)
Interview
Well structured, first phase was video recording of yourself so less arbitrary than live interview. There were 7 recordings you needed to submit to answer several prompt questions, followed by answering 2 timed “brain games” that IMO were a bit too short on time but were OK overall.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at National Grid (Northport, NY) in Dec 2022
Interview
Initial Hirevue screen, which was buggy at the time, and then an interview with the potential manager. The manager asked mostly behavioral questions, and there was not a technical portion, at least for my interview.
