Pros

Benefits are decent (but not special). A paycheck was deposited on time each month. (Yes once a month, so you’ll wait a while.)

Cons

Broken processes, annoying re-work, infrastructure groups don’t like security, work objectives are planned in a vacuum and dished out to the masses (heavy command and control structure), poor interaction and work streams between teams/depts, mediocre management that thinks they are top notch. And best of all they are dabbling in Agile and doing it wrong. And much more! Great place to put your head down or end a career.

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.
