Pros

A rich culture of diversity here at National Grid where you are encouraged to bring your whole self to work. The safety culture is topnotch and your well being is taken into consideration. Flexible and hybrid working style being practiced helps to promote a healthy work/life balance. Everyone is always willing to assist you succeed in your role. Salary wise, it competes with other top players in the industry and there are lots of Employee benefit schemes put in place. The Graduate scheme should be the best in the industry because of the quality and amount of investments the company put into each graduate. Graduates are thrown into a pool of opportunities to gain knowledge, further their career and carry out volunteering activities.

Cons

Though, it's a company that promotes diversity and employs lots of immigrants, sadly, they do not pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) which some other companies do.

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.
