I applied online. I interviewed at SSE (Cardiff, Wales) in Jul 2015
Interview
I applied online and got a reply in 10 minutes inviting me to an assessment day. The assessment started with a get to know among each other and then we were given cards with SSE safety rules and asked to put them in order. This was followed by a short break and a presentation about SSE. We then did a Maths test, this test made a few people very frustrated, mainly percentages both increase and decrease. After we found out who passed the maths test, interview times were set. Interview was basic customer service style.

Very interactive and relax. The interviewers were professional and I was able to ask my questions, which they responded professionally as interview is a two way , as cultural fit is important for me too.
The interview process was via Microsoft Teams, two interviewers and they made sure I was relaxed and felt comfortable before proceeding with the real interview questions. The interview lasted 30 minutes.
