National Grid reviews

the problems customers have and the system at national grid

Where to start. Onboarding is a mess, lots of software to install, no central place to locate information, it's all over the place. People are vague most of the time, very much a sink or swim culture. Nigel Farage would hate this place - staffed full of foreigners to the point you feel like a minority in your own country. Plus relentless drive to cut costs, usually cheap graduates no experienced hires. There is a blame culture, insane workload where you have 5-20 tasks simultaneously. Started well with excellent supportive boss, now have an absolute toxic boss who is a bully, harasses and belittles you. Feels very corporate, endless meetings, many people have been here years, needs a good clear out. Endless meetings and distractions, a very inefficient design review process with up to 80 engineers in one meeting debating your project, risk adverse to the max. DEI is all lip service, Too much cheap labour (foreigners/grads), not a place to develop your career and earn more than £70k.
