Pros

The company overall has a great culture and mission. Work life balance and diversity are alive and well at National Grid, especially in their UK businesses. Compensation is aligned with other Boston area Global companies.

Cons

Global security has frequent restructures and layoffs. I would avoid taking a role in this part of the organization if you are looking for longevity and job security. Their redundancy process is poorly planned and executed… waiting to hear if you have a position and the lack of useable support from HR when you don’t. Senior leadership avoid the hard conversations and make false promises. A weak Global CISO and egocentric senior leader in the US contribute to the lack of employee engagement and compounds the issues.

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.
