Pros

potential to meet some cool co workers

Cons

The worst thing you can do is accept an offer from this company at this location. Upper management are some of the most incompetent people you will ever come across. No overtime and extremely long hours. This is a cutthroat organization who do not care about welfare of its employees. Constant changes in staff, management and policies. Nobody has a clear understanding of anything and management acts as if they're above everyone else

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.
