Pros

Recent college grads can earn a decent starting salary and get some experience under the belt but don't plan to stay if longevity is your plan.

Cons

The company values external candidates but is poor at developing talent and promoting from within. If your fine with jumping from one company to another National Grid can be a fine rung on that ladder but if your one that desires long term stability know that although possible here your put out to pasture once your tenure hit's double digits regardless you age, beyond 50 forget it, they have moved on from you regardless what you have to offer.

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.
