Pros

Many employees have been here for years and that shows a level of satisfaction. Despite some restructuring (nothing too major), the company is a stable business with opportunities within. Although more progress is needed, the company's commitment to inclusion and diversity is there at many levels.

Cons

With so many employees who have been here a long time, some areas move a little slower than ideal. Many started when the company was a lot smaller and they are still adjusting to being employed by an international company.

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.
