Pros

Pay, canteen staff, location of site

Cons

Unfortunately it is a very typical office environment where it your face fits and you don't question why, you'll be ok. We see issues treated differently for different people, with some very extreme results.

Pros

Good work life balance Opportunities to grow within the company A good Pension scheme (although not available to new staff)

Cons

A big drive to be transparent with the customer but there's a big gap in transparency with staff. Management can focus on little savings like do not travel and then we can see big fat paid consultants (e.g. Bain, Baringa) being paid millions to come and copy the work of staff and claim it as their own in pretty slides is hugely demotivating to staff.

Pros

Good 9 to 5 culture. London Locations are great. Safety culture improving on non-nuclear sites. Work-Life balance with big room to flexibility (not open to all and big elements of favouritism if you synchronised with top tier managers)

Cons

Top tiers of management are useless and not prepared to challenge the business just want to keep the status quo. They pay no attention to employee needs but also not worry with business performance. EDF energy show elements of a "grow-up" company from the nuclear side but anything non-nuclear related is rubbish and very detrimental and depressing to be perfectly honest.
