      Pros

      Very good work life balance Good pension scheme Easy to get to by public transport Lots of opportunities to progress in field if that's what you like People are very friendly Encouraged to learn and develop and the company offers to pay for qualifications and certs once applicable

      Cons

      Salary for role is almost 20% below market rate Lots of bureaucracy and approval needed for the most basic tasks which slows down decision making Moves at a glacial pace at times Large number of external consultants at the firm which can hinder progression for internal employees No clear progression path unlike in other firms. Your best bet at progression is switching teams internally rather than moving up within the team

      Pros

      flexible working & free canteen.

      Cons

      The company places significant emphasis on its external image and "Great Place to Work" branding, but this is not always reflected internally. There is a heavy reliance on contractors and consultants, while longstanding legacy issues remain unresolved. Strong employees and good intentions are often undermined by slow decision-making, bureaucracy, and a lack of focus on addressing core operational challenge

      Pros

      The canteen, flexi-hours and overall company atmosphere are all great positives. There is a nice social side to the company and I genuinely look forward to coming into work every day. The work is rewarding, with the opportunity to see our impact across the country's national grid.

      Cons

      It doesn't impact us directly, but the IT platform that the contractors must use is clunky, inefficient and slow and sometimes has a knock on effect to any collaborative/joint meetings or project work,
