Pros

After 25 years with National Grid, I can say it has been a stable and rewarding place to build a career. The work is meaningful, safety is taken seriously, and the company continues to invest in infrastructure and its people. Benefits and long‑term opportunities have been a major positive. The relationships that have created and maintained thru the indusrty.

Cons

As with any large organization, change can be slow and processes can sometimes feel layered or complex. Field operations balance many priorities—compliance, scheduling, permitting, and coordination—which can be challenging at times. Communication across departments can vary depending on the situation.

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.
