AI interview for the first round that was behavioral but pretty specific and not a fun experience. Think we all prefer speaking to a real person. Decently hard to come up with examples in the moment as they were not prototypical behavioral questions.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at National Grid in Feb 2023
Interview
The first round (and one I ended on) was a HireVue recorded interview, so you don't get any contact with actual people working there at all unless you move to the next stage. It was a very bland experience and took weeks for them to decide on who moves on. If you moved to the next and final stage, I believe you would have a 3-4 hour day of virtual interviews and case studies.
