Pros

Pension and Volunteer days are ok

Cons

E and P; Puddle Dock .Box ticking bureaucrats, Senior Commercial Team mostly incompetent and only interested in following corporate governance in order to protect their own jobs and pensions rather than making a difference to the rail industry. Work is mind numbing and endless detritus, feeding numbers into a huge Network Rail machine. Will make you lose your identity as a human being and question your reason for existing. Job satisfaction is zero and the work could seriously corrode your sole. Reorganizations every year or so and massive turnover of staff within London region. SPMs and Project Managers very poor, wouldn't get jobs elsewhere and routinely blamed commercial staff to protect their own jobs. There were very many bad behaviours with the Electrification and Power team, some overly aggressive Commercial Managers and SPMs who would undermine other team members behind their backs rather than talk in person but the Project Managers seemed to facilitate and support the behavior
