      Benefits are not what they seem - Engineer EirGrid Employee Review

      Pros

      Large variation of work and chance to work on innovative projects

      Cons

      The company have been making changes to pensions, how the bonus structure works and other areas. Newer staff will be on different benefits to existing staff. Be aware and question all of the benefits offered or discussed at an interview, some of them may not apply for a few years, for example annual salary review. Over the last few months a lot of staff have left, meaning there are few people left with the workload. There seems to be a practice when someone leaves a role that it will be advertised as a lower band, meaning you’ll be doing the exact role as the person before you, but for less.

      Pros

      flexible working & free canteen.

      Cons

      The company places significant emphasis on its external image and "Great Place to Work" branding, but this is not always reflected internally. There is a heavy reliance on contractors and consultants, while longstanding legacy issues remain unresolved. Strong employees and good intentions are often undermined by slow decision-making, bureaucracy, and a lack of focus on addressing core operational challenge

      Pros

      The canteen, flexi-hours and overall company atmosphere are all great positives. There is a nice social side to the company and I genuinely look forward to coming into work every day. The work is rewarding, with the opportunity to see our impact across the country's national grid.

      Cons

      It doesn't impact us directly, but the IT platform that the contractors must use is clunky, inefficient and slow and sometimes has a knock on effect to any collaborative/joint meetings or project work,
