Pros

Good support for families and the work life balance. The organisation has a good history of technical competence. The company has a stable workload with the Riio contract and with the sale has the opportunity for improvement.

Cons

The history of the organisation has resulted in bureaucracy which is slow and difficult to effect change. Whilst there are benefits in functional operation, only if there is very close working between functions which is a significant area for improvement.

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.
