Pros

In nearly 10 years at National Grid, I can honestly say this has been the best company I’ve worked for so far. There are plenty of opportunities for growth and mobility—whether you’re expanding your expertise or exploring leadership roles. Leadership is genuinely supportive, fostering innovation, inclusion, and development. The work is fulfilling and meaningful, focused on reliability, sustainability, and serving communities. Work-life harmony that allows you to thrive professionally and personally. And above all, the people are outstanding—collaborative, passionate, and committed to making a difference.

Cons

As with many large organizations, processes can be slow at times due to legacy systems and multiple layers of approval. The good news is that these challenges are actively being addressed.

Pros

At NGED the few pros are lessened by the day as the cons are increasing. The idea of a career has gone and now most are resigned to just having a job.

Cons

Aside from the reality being very different from what the leadership team sell IE they don't care about people or net zero, it's all spin and marketing. Now at NGED we are in a situation where staff you have known for many years simply disappear from duty and no one seems to know why, a couple of weeks later they have left the business with an NDA. It's happening all over the business. There seems to be a drive to remove any leaders who have industry technical knowledge and replace them with people from outside the industry who knows little to nothing about electricity. Despite safe to say being an important value, speaking out against this usually results in an NDA. It's toxic positivity where playing along seems to be more important than the role you fulfil.
