Pros

National Grid provides clean, safe, and reliable energy to the community while also giving back through volunteerism, sponsorships, payment assistance programs, and more. In addition to competitive salaries, employees have access to a generous suite of benefits and are highly supported when seeking advancement within the company.

Cons

Being such a large company, it can be daunting as a new employee to get up to speed on the many departments, roles, and processes at National Grid. But supportive colleagues, time, and experience are all very helpful in getting over that hump.

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.
