Pros

Flexible hybrid working Consistent efforts by management to 'get it right' Management seems to care about you You can move across departments within the firm so you don't have to leave to try something new job security Brilliant colleagues Great work/life balance

Cons

A change in management or leadership might mean a total change in deliverables. Legacy staff (those that have been here for ages) may already have their own people that they enjoy working with and breaking in might feel like you're trying to join a high school cheer-leading team. Room for growth is limited Staff training is not the best Needless reliance of 3rd party contractors for some roles

Pros

flexible working & free canteen.

Cons

The company places significant emphasis on its external image and "Great Place to Work" branding, but this is not always reflected internally. There is a heavy reliance on contractors and consultants, while longstanding legacy issues remain unresolved. Strong employees and good intentions are often undermined by slow decision-making, bureaucracy, and a lack of focus on addressing core operational challenge

Pros

The canteen, flexi-hours and overall company atmosphere are all great positives. There is a nice social side to the company and I genuinely look forward to coming into work every day. The work is rewarding, with the opportunity to see our impact across the country's national grid.

Cons

It doesn't impact us directly, but the IT platform that the contractors must use is clunky, inefficient and slow and sometimes has a knock on effect to any collaborative/joint meetings or project work,
