Pros

Great benefits, strong focus on flexible working, and brilliant employee-led communities. It’s also good to have sight of the bigger picture and feel part of something that provides an essential service people often take for granted.

Cons

With lots of teams and departments, there can occasionally be duplication, even though everyone has the best intentions. There’s an opportunity to improve alignment by looking at the bigger picture across processes.

Pros

Anglian Water are generally speaking really good employees. in my experience they respect your work life balance, and the manager's I've encountered are friendly and approachable.

Cons

The sick-leave system can be quite stressful. I know someone who has worked from home while very poorly because they had slightly more illnesses than usual early in the year and the meetings if you've gone over acceptable levels of sick leave can be very stressful, and not what you want hanging over you when you're trying to recover.
