Great place to work - Delegate Sales Executive Smart Grid Forums Employee Review

great company or not great?

nothing bad to say. good

SGF is a well-respected producer of in-depth technical events aimed at electric grid engineers and technology leaders. They are a genuinely positive force in the complex, technical market they serve with a true dedication to delivering high quality and enduring value. Their reputation is a big plus approaching the market as a producer! The management is direct, supportive, and committed to staff wellbeing. The working atmosphere is professional without being overly corporate or stuffy. Staff are encouraged to gain exposure to various elements of the business and there is a positive culture of growth, development, and learning. Work is done only within office hours unlike many other conference companies, and you are not expected to take your work home with you.

The conference production industry is inherently pressurised, and highly competitive. It is certainly not for everyone. The high standards mentioned before are upheld - Deadlines are tight, the work can be challenging, and there isn’t anywhere to hide. The company works within a very specific market with sophisticated customers. You need to be prepared to deep-dive into some technical content and adapt your communication style accordingly. There's a lot to learn to succeed.
