Pros
National Grid is a place where meaningful work truly matters. In my time here, I’ve had the opportunity to work at the intersection of infrastructure, community, and public service, particularly through my role in siting and permitting critical energy projects. The work is complex and challenging, but deeply rewarding, knowing that what we do directly supports reliability, safety, and long-term energy resilience for our customers and communities. One of the most impressive aspects of National Grid is its willingness to evolve. That commitment is reflected in the creation of my current role as Manager, with a focus on operationalizing equity. This newly established position designed to better integrate equity, community engagement, and access considerations into our work. Being trusted to step into and help shape a new role speaks volumes about the company’s investment in its people, its openness to innovation, and its recognition of emerging priorities in the energy sector. Leadership is supportive, collaborative, and genuinely invested in professional growth. I’ve consistently felt encouraged to bring ideas forward, think creatively, and help influence how we work, not just execute tasks. There is a strong culture of respect, purpose, and shared mission across teams.
Cons
Like any large organization, change can take time and processes can be complex. However, the organization is actively working to improve and adapt, and leadership is receptive to feedback.
