Pros
Great Company Benefits the Parent company is National Grid and they get the opportunity to benefit from their Company Benefits. Good pension, maternity cover, share scheme opportunity & sickness policy. Great to work here if you are able to become friends with those colleagues who have been in the company for a long time. If you are happy to be a follower to ancient processes then this is the perfect place to work.
Cons
It is not a great place to work if you are wanting to make changes for the better as people will not let you progress with your ideas especially if you are not part of the friends circle within the management team. For those people who are career driven this is not the best place to succeed as the technology they use is so ancient. IT Department are only just discovering SharePoint 2010. This place can hold you back if you are wanting more from your career. Outdated technology doesn't help them with working smarter. This company does need a lot of changes to it. Even to make a small change to a process it will require top managements input. It can take a long time for any activity/project to actually get implemented. The pace is very slow.
