Pros

Good company to work for with flexible hours, good work life balance and ability to move around the business doing different roles.

Cons

Large company so it can be slow to get things through and being regulated means your plans can change quickly to accommodate the regulator's request. It still has work to do to even out the gender disparity, but it is getting there.

Pros

In my four years so far at National Grid, I have found that they genuinely do care for their employees. The pension and benefits package, paternity/maternity policies and award schemed reflect this point. The company culture breeds a positive environment, supporting and encouraging each other. Collaboration is encouraged, and opportunities for progression or even lateral movement are abundant.

Cons

National Grid naturally suffers from some of the same frustrating nuances that all large companies do. Sometimes the HR processes can be slow, or issues where inter-departmental procedures/decision-making is required can be difficult, but this is certainly nothing that other blue-chip companies I have worked for are guilty of.
