Pros

NG is a great organisation—one I didn’t know much about before applying. However, after working here for a year, I can confidently say it’s the best place I could have started my career. The Graduate Scheme was excellent, offering a wealth of training, support, guidance, and learning opportunities—both within your team and business unit, and beyond, through placements and simply by reaching out. Most people here are always keen to help, are kind, and are focused on delivering a net zero future for the UK and our customers. NG is also a considerate organisation that cares about your personal values and goals, and encourages you to be your authentic self in the workplace. You are treated well, paid well, trained well, and given ample opportunity to demonstrate your potential and achieve the growth you aspire to in your career. If I had to choose one company to work for throughout my life, it would definitely be NG—I’d never want to leave. There’s no reason to, and many reasons to stay and serve for years. I’ve tried to capture some of those reasons in this review, though there are many more I couldn’t fit in. If you’re looking to start your career, or want to work in an organisation that values both your personal and professional life, apply and become part of NG. You’ll live well, earn well, and thrive. Good luck!

Cons

None that I can think of—I've had a very positive experience so far.
