Pros

I love the flexibility of National Grids hybrid work model especially given the geographic size of my service area. I appreciate the emphasis the company places on wellbeing and employee collaboration that embraces technology.

Cons

Development of division or departmental budget could be more transparent. Use of technology for collaboration is great, but with such diverse teams across the US and UK, there could be more emphasis on targeted in person team building across the company. There is a disconnect between operations employees and management employees.

Pros

At NGED the few pros are lessened by the day as the cons are increasing. The idea of a career has gone and now most are resigned to just having a job.

Cons

Aside from the reality being very different from what the leadership team sell IE they don't care about people or net zero, it's all spin and marketing. Now at NGED we are in a situation where staff you have known for many years simply disappear from duty and no one seems to know why, a couple of weeks later they have left the business with an NDA. It's happening all over the business. There seems to be a drive to remove any leaders who have industry technical knowledge and replace them with people from outside the industry who knows little to nothing about electricity. Despite safe to say being an important value, speaking out against this usually results in an NDA. It's toxic positivity where playing along seems to be more important than the role you fulfil.
