Pros

EDF energy pay a good salary and incentives to its staff and have good working conditions

Cons

At the moment the biggest challenge for my level at EDF Energy is whether you will have a job in a couple of months due to cuts in the manager level staff. We were told this a few day before Christmas which was a great Christmas present and although they have tried to keep us informed of the situation still not knowing the process is not good. It makes you feel that although you are doing a great job this is not recognised and makes you wander whether you want to continue working for a employer that doesn't necessarily recognise this. Until recently I would have been happy to recommend EDF Energy as a great place to work and a company who really cared about their employees. I understand the pressures of the need to operate a profit making business but does that mean we have to sacrifice other areas.

Pros

Real opportunities to grow into more technical roles (Control Center Operator → Systems Engineer paths exist and aren't just on paper). You get hands-on experience with industrial systems most people only read about — OSI PI, SCADA, OMS integrations, cloud telemetry — which is hard to get elsewhere. Management generally supports continued education and certifications.

Cons

Decisions move slowly. Getting tooling, software, or process changes approved often involves multiple layers, including approvals that flow up to the French parent company. Procurement and IT requests can take weeks for things that would take a day at a smaller company. Some legacy systems and processes haven't been modernized — you'll find yourself working around quirks instead of fixing them.
