Pros

Great Experience, friendly work environment, flexible work schedule, openness to explore other departments, great learning benefits, very knowledgeable and helpful staff, great new building and office Overall great flexibility to work at home or in the office, as well as a rich and well nourished learning environment with well experience and friendly staff

Cons

Outdated and old computer programs, communication and coordination issues between departments in the matrix configuration, goals express are not aligned with the actual goals of the company "There are fundamental issues that cause challenges that should not even be there in the first place, which takes away from the actual challenges that employees are hired to solve"

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.
