Pros

Good solid job. Will never get rich but will never be poor. I have met and work with a lot of great people and have made some lifelong friends.

Cons

When I started here it was like family. Now we are all just names and numbers. Perfect example - My birthday has come and gone. My service anniversary has come and gone, not one person wished me well. Several people have retired, and some have died, and we don't get notified anymore. It's very sad that National Grid just doesn't care and just thinks of us as expendable names and numbers and have removed all human emotion.

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.
