That’s the same for me I think, said I had passed my VI but was being reviewed by the hiring manager. Which position did you apply for? When did you submit your VI? Sorry for 20Q it’s the only thread I’ve found relating to national grid haha

Please would be kind enough to share the assessment details. Like how was it? What kind of questions were there in the VI and was it very difficult?

I passed the VI and online game and it now says my application is under review by hiring manager. Do you know how much time they will take to get back? Thanks

I had that response too, they sent the email to me on 2nd Nov advising it would be reviewed by the hiring manager - but no time frame included so I guess it’s just a waiting game

After seeing all the conversations here, I think everyone is waiting from quite a long time and I am new in the game 😅 hopefully we get the green flag soon ✌🏻

It’s on the 24th Nov, although it does state only half a day which is surprising as I thought it would have been a full day. I’m so excited, but quite nervous as it’s my first
