Pros

After a year at NGV, I can honestly say it's a rewarding place to work. Having previously worked here for 17 years. The organisation is driven by purpose and the people are passionate, knowledgeable and supportive. There's a strong culture of collaboration, respect and I've felt encouraged to learn and grow in my role. Like any large organisation, the work can be fast-paced and complex at times, but it's balanced by meaningful projects and the opportunity to contribute to something that has real cultural impact. A great place for people who value purpose, creativity and community.

Cons

As a large organisation, processes can sometimes be complex and change can take time, particularly around major projects. However, this is balanced by thoughtful decision-making and a strong sense of purpose. This approach actually strengthens credibility and reassures candidates that the review is thoughtful and genuine - not overly polished.

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.
