Pros

You’ll be part of a mission-driven team helping deliver the UK’s clean energy future. There’s strong career growth and job security in a rapidly expanding division. You’ll work in a collaborative environment with top industry partners. The company supports a healthy work-life balance with flexible working options. Training and development opportunities are actively encouraged. The benefits package is solid and the culture is inclusive and supportive.

Cons

Offshore projects are complex and come with tough delivery challenges. Internal processes can be slow and bureaucratic. Pay may be lower than similar roles in the private sector. Legacy systems and tech limitations can slow down progress. The pace and pressure of ASTI targets can be demanding.

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.
