Pros

Super inclusive environment and culture. People willing to help with anything. Company will fund knowledge extensions e.g. site visits and conferences. Given proper responsibility.

Cons

Took a month at least to feel like the work getting done was meaningful. Too easy to work from home, so office can feel empty.

Love this review (thank you for taking the time) - the environment and culture is certainly what sets National Gas apart from other businesses - everyone is genuinely willing to help, support, and are super-friendly and down to earth! We're so pleased to hear you've experienced this too! We want to invest in our staff with training and courses so you have a long and meaningful progressive career with us, and we're also keen to ensure we continue to be as inclusive as possible. Also great to hear you enjoy coming into the office - especially as a graduate we recognise that in order for you to learn and develop it's important to have face-to-face time with as many people and teams as possible, to build those relationships, hear what's going on and see what other people do and how they work. We're keen for our staff to 'be in the office more than they're out' ideally as we hugely value face-to-face time for collaboration and personal development. Everyone has their part to play in this - being present, being open, creating that special culture of helping and developing others, and ideally in person for some of the week - our mental health is too important and our individual personalities too special to hide at home all the time!!

Pros

Good sick pay, interesting work, good colleagues

Cons

Maquaire owner business so now all about maximising dividends to them at the expense of staff and their terms and conditions. HR are horrendous and monitor trackers against overtime claims like the KGB. You have to justify every little crum of overtime even though some can’t be helped. Management dismiss feedback that is challenging. Lots of people leaving because of all the change and erosion of morale. Company only interested in itself and eroding staff perks.

Pros

Steady employment, terms and conditions, some overtime, free tools

Cons

Macquarie owned so mainly about maximising dividends and reducing costs everywhere. The company no longer cares about maintenance and is constantly pushing their CAPEX programme. Gone downhill since leaving national grid.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is appreciated. We recognise that as a business the last 18 months has had huge change as we carved out from a large plc so there has been big transformation across the business, and continues to be. As a business we continue to learn, grow and develop, moving forward, reaching our goals to become more agile, inclusive and secure, with safety our number one priority. Our infrastructure is our most important asset, and our maintenance teams crucial in looking after this. Thank you for 20 years of service, we are listening, and will strive to ensure we do the best for our employees and our network.
