Pros

Trend of transition to new energies and the exposure of this impact it has to the Utilities industry may be valuable. Heavy focus on bringing in external consultants makes for good opportunities as a Consultant to work here on a short term basis.

Cons

Constant focus on transformations to reduce business cost. This is resulting in redundancies and driving an unstable team culture and poor working environment. Change Management from transformation programs is poorly implemented. Largely shareholder focused and employees aren't a stakeholder considered of value and often treated as dispensable. Culture trends towards toxic as employees are focused on avoiding being made redundant. Company surveys typically end up being used by managers to identify unhappy team members. Cost savings focus sees departments and employees fighting each other over getting credit. Role clarity among departments is always a point of conflict and collaboration is minimal between departments. Minorities and new migrants generally aren't viewed as management worthy. Personally the first and last days of my employment were the best days at this organisation. I'm pleased to have moved on.
