      A Great Start But Then Run

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Recent college grads can earn a decent starting salary and get some experience under the belt but don't plan to stay if longevity is your plan.

      Cons

      The company values external candidates but is poor at developing talent and promoting from within. If your fine with jumping from one company to another National Grid can be a fine rung on that ladder but if your one that desires long term stability know that although possible here your put out to pasture once your tenure hit's double digits regardless you age, beyond 50 forget it, they have moved on from you regardless what you have to offer.

      Stable, Busy

      Us it staffing
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This is an ultra stable company with endless IT projects cause they have been sagging for the past decade. Now they are playing catchup. No shortage of work. They also outsource quite a bit so you don't have to do everything yourself.

      Cons

      Very few people get promoted. The company is old school, very boomerish. Young employees will find it hard to shine. Extremely top heavy. They have more directors than you can count. Functionally there are lots of levels even if it claims to be a flat organization.

      Lots of politics and favoritism, from management to low levels People are not cooperative in general (cultural issue) Frequent and sudden turnover in management Frequent re-org (red flag)
