E.ON Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

good work life balance, friendly environment, flexible working, good for people who have family and need flexible working

Cons

Management is very self centric, very little focus on staff's development, initial salary always very high but then very strange performance management discussions , target driven...

Pros

Good working conditions and work/life balance challenging customer market conditions so it's challenging job

Cons

annual cost cutting starting to make jobs tougher, and morale reduce

Pros

Good variety of projects and roles available. They are big on development and will help you progress if you are willing to jump through some hoops. People are supportive and typically want to help each other out. Good work life balance depending on the department.

Cons

A company of middle-managers meaning we have very little expertise in anything. EON are trying to grow in the energy solutions space but have very little capability from a technical point of view meaning we are reliant on external consultants for a lot of work. The technical engineering expertise and innovation comes from Germany, not the UK. Poor systems that require significant investment but so many areas require this that nothing improves that much. Too much "silo-ing". Different departments not knowing each other enough. Very few opportunities in London.

Pros

Good place to have a stable job, good work-life balance, people/culture is generally relaxed, company is flexible with location and hours

Cons

Management is too risk-averse leading to very slow growth; technologically backward leading to day-to-day frustrations; teams are silo-ed and do not work together well; solar and storage departments neglected
