EirGrid Work/Life Balance FAQ

Pros

Flexible working arrangements Free food No long working hours

Cons

Difficult to see clear career progression The culture is all about fighting fires rather than long term planning

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues, collaborative work environment, great work life balance, continuous learning and opportunity to grow and develop. I couldn’t be happier in Eirgrid.

Cons

Nothing but a very positive experience so far.

Pros

Positive work environment. Reasonable flexible working hours

Cons

Pay isn't great and inflexible.

Pros

Location is good Access to competency training Benefits for staff that have been with EirGrid for a few years is good, less so for new staff

Cons

Slow progression - based on "time served" rather than skills and experience Very little flexibility and no trust with people working from home Complaints about staff/management behaviour ignored Hierarchical systems means everything takes an age to get done (all decisions big or small have to go up the chain)
