National High­ways Interview Questions
& Process

It was a single face-to-face interview round with two interviewers. They asked exactly four questions, all related to the company's values and asked me to provide examples from my past experiences. The interview was scored on a point system.

I got invited to an online interview. They responded pretty fast after I applied. The interview platform was a bit buggy and didn't work right. The questions were pretty easy, but they didn't give much direction. I was rejected even though I think I did a good job and had plenty of examples. I'm really bummed because they said we'd get our results in December, but it was actually January, a whole month later. They didn't even tell us it would be delayed, just that they were on track for December. I wouldn't suggest applying here because they're bad at communicating and don't seem to appreciate the hard work we put in.

I only completed the first stage, which was an application and a situational judgement test (SJT). The application had questions about why I want to work there and why I want to join their graduate programme, and also required a cover letter. The SJT was quite brief, with about ten questions. I was then quickly rejected, and based on the rejection email, it seems the SJT was the issue. If that's the case, I feel they should have administered the SJT first, and then asked us to write about our motivations if we passed, like other graduate schemes do. I spent a lot of time writing and researching my motivations, only for it not to be read! I understand the company might be underfunded, but it was also really hard to find information about the scheme. There were no YouTube videos or webinars this year, so I had to rely solely on the job description to understand the programme. I didn't know about the available seats, why the training contract was three years long, or the duration of each seat. I had to look up current employees on LinkedIn to see what they mentioned doing on their profiles. Additionally, I only found two early careers recruitment emails after I had already started applying, which I think should be available on their website so people can ask questions before applying.

The whole process was pretty organized. It started with submitting an application online, then I had to do an online test. After that, there was an online assessment centre. In the assessment centre, they asked questions about company values. The interviewers were nice and asked me to talk more about my experiences. It was a good experience overall, mostly competency-based questions.
