Pros

If you are seeking a job in the energy industry, National Grid is the place for you. The company is committed to its vision of a clean energy future and is highly customer focused. I am in Energy Efficiency and find my work rewarding every day by helping customers choose the right clean energy solution for their home or business. Safety is engrained in our culture along with strong ethics and values. Salaries are very competitive with a 401k plan and a diverse benefits package that includes a multitude of employee resources. Advancement and development opportunities are encouraged and supported through company programs. I am able to take advantage of the hybrid work environment in my current role which offers flexibility and provides for work-life balance. I also appreciate the company's commitment to volunteerism and social responsibility which aligns with my personal values. I am supported by my leadership team and am able to express my thoughts in an open environment. The best part of working at National Grid are the people. Over my 33-year career, I have met and continue to meet amazing individuals that have helped me learn and grow professionally and personally.

Cons

I am grateful for my job at National Grid.

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.
