Pros

-There is a strong emphasis on work-life balance at National Grid, where working long hours is discouraged unless absolutely necessary. -There are many opportunities for individuals looking to help mitigate climate change by expediting the adaptation of renewable energy solutions. -Friendly and caring work environment.

Cons

-There is a possibility that employees may feel that it is difficult to create change due to the largeness of the company and sometimes infrequent interaction with leadership. -Faster-paced individuals may become frustrated with the slightly slower pace of working compared to highly-competitive private sector roles. -Can take a while to move to a different position within the company if one arises.

Pros

Holiday allowance ,sick pay and fortunate to work with highly skilled engineers

Cons

Splitting teams into areas that don’t cooperate with each other is counterproductive, everyone knows this. Robbing Peter to pay Paul to massage figures is tiresome
