Pros

National Grid is a great place to grow and develop your career with a culture and leadership who invest in talent and support personal and professional development. Colleagues are smart, kind and collaborative which contributes to an enjoyable and engaging environment. It's also very purpose-driven where the connection between work and our broader vision and purpose is very clear.

Cons

As with any large organization, decision-making can take time and sometimes our complex organizational structure can make it challenging to navigate and manage competing priorities.

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.
