Pros

Career and skill development is very much up to the employee and is otherwise limitless. Hardwork is rewarded with recognition, compensation and promotion. Encouragement to succeed by management. High visibility by management within your department and adjacent stakeholders.

Cons

A very large company where it is easy to become transparent in a global sense. On the global level there tends to be some inertia requiring some time for global objectives to be fulfilled and the various departments to become in sync.

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.
