Pros

By having my manager take credit for my work, I've learned to stand up for myself at work, regardless of how I am viewed. By having my manager conducts meetings where he basically ignored all the females (even to the point where male colleagues would apologize because they felt so bad) I've learned that its important to leave a toxic situation. And by having National Grid refuse to take impactful action until after people make the decision to leave, I've learned that this company truly puts profit above all us! Enjoy your money!!

Cons

I'm pretty sure that my review is not the only one that mentions the pervasive "old boys club" type of feeling within this company. It is not enough to try and convince everyone that it isn't , you are actually supposed to resolve issues like this, not just dismiss what people are saying!

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.
