      Good but Lack of Internal Promotion

      Customer business operations
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexibility, Hybrid Working & Free Coffee Machine

      Cons

      Positions recently advertised ignored very suitable internal candidates for external, with internals effectively filling the role in the meantime meaning roles have been unfilled for extensive periods of time. Hugely demotivating.

      Great People, Great Mission - but a challenging cultural trajectory

      Cybersecurity
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Team Strong Interpersonal Connections: The team fosters genuine connections and cares about individuals beyond their work roles, but this has challenges and friction. See Cons. 2. Opportunities for Ownership - Summary: The new and growing department offers significant opportunities for trying new things. - Details: Offers opportunities to explore new areas with managerial coaching, leading to ownership (however, limited headcount and project overemphasis currently hinder this – see Cons). 3. International Mobility - Summary: Being part of an international company like Iberdrola opens up unique career mobility options. - Details: Employees have access to opportunities that are typically unavailable in local utilities, enhancing career prospects and knowledge exchange for both companies. 4. Meaningful Mission - Summary: Grid cybersecurity. Our mission is vital for public safety and can lead to substantial positive impacts. - Details: Employees are motivated by the importance of their work; however, focus must remain on genuine needs rather than just meeting targets, see cons’ section below. 5. Leadership - good heads of department - Summary: Recently appointed heads of department are actively addressing cultural challenges and driving positive change. - Details: Initiatives like culture days indicate a commitment to improving team dynamics.

      Cons

      1. Work-Life Balance Challenges - Summary: While some managers support work-life balance, many team members struggle due to pressures to appear busy. - Details: Practices like taking extended breaks to manage workload indicate a culture that may prioritize presence over productivity. 2. Hyper-Fixation on Projects - Summary: There is an excessive emphasis on project completion at the expense of long-term improvements and team development. - Details: Resources are stretched thin, preventing teams from addressing systemic issues that could enhance overall efficiency. 3. Strategic Focus - Summary: A tendency to prioritize immediate project delivery may undermine strategic planning and transformation efforts. - Details: Without adequate time allocated for non-project work, the department risks stagnation in innovation and improvement.
