      Pros

      I worked in the Waltham office in MA, and the environment and people were very pleasant. Everybody knows the company and pay was competitive with the internships my friends had. My direct manager was always helpful and encouraging, and with multiple interns spread across the building it is easy to socialize a bit with your peers.

      Cons

      They did not seem to be offering many full time positions. While understandable for a public utility, there are a lot of consultants who are often listened to more than the junior staff, along with a lot of bureaucracy and back-and-forth emails.

      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.
