Pros

Salary is above average for area. Better than average bonus plan. Independent work environment lets you add personal touches to projects, while also meeting corporate goals. Flexible work hours and work from home/remote options available.

Cons

Must be a self starter to be successful. Leadership can see a bit "unsure" of direction at times. Rewards tends to be based on perception and not by personal achievements. Upper management tend to tell you what you want to here and not necessarily what is going on.

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.
