Pros

-Depending on your direct manager, the work from home option is probably the biggest pro here. -Benefits and 401K are also good and should be taken advantage of.

Cons

-Very poor management style (lower levels have no say and feedback not taken seriously) -Not very good at promoting and developing employees from within (Promote unqualified or hire from outside for twice the amount and ask other to train them). -Salary levels are not in line with market (either grossly underpaid or overpaid) -Year end Performance reviews are laughable at best, convoluted/bias process -Workplace morale is lowest it's ever been

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.
