Pros

-There is a strong emphasis on work-life balance at National Grid, where working long hours is discouraged unless absolutely necessary. -There are many opportunities for individuals looking to help mitigate climate change by expediting the adaptation of renewable energy solutions. -Friendly and caring work environment.

Cons

-There is a possibility that employees may feel that it is difficult to create change due to the largeness of the company and sometimes infrequent interaction with leadership. -Faster-paced individuals may become frustrated with the slightly slower pace of working compared to highly-competitive private sector roles. -Can take a while to move to a different position within the company if one arises.

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.
