Pros

Good pay, health insurance, tuition reimbursement, growth opportunities, somewhat easy to move around after 18 months, work is very particular and well-defined responsibilities

Cons

Company is very big and can be hard to navigate, stakeholders can be very resistant to change or untrusting of new employees, remote work can be very demanding with little downtimes, need to fit in with team/company culture to do well and work behind screen all day every day, lots of favoritism and are shut down for speaking up

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.
