I applied online. I interviewed at National Grid in Oct 2025
Interview
No human element to it. Applied online, got invited to complete assessment online, 7 days from receiving email that assessment must be done buy. Assessment is mix of games, numerical and shapes. Whats the point when you need a minimum 2:2 Bachelors to even apply. Followed by six questions that you must record yourself answering. Dystopian and Alien would sum up he experience. Questions were not about the role or your past experiences that demonstrate your capability in the role.
