"National Grid work culture is non-existence. There's no opportunity to advance your career or learn. The work environment didn't make it easy to get your job done. We worked in an open office space, but not enough resource was provided. Every morning I would spend time trying to find an open deck with a monitor, so I can get my work completed."

"Good & typical "old" utility company - has good benefits and non-standard benefits, but is also slow and behind the curve. Silo structure that does not help with cross-functional discussions and also makes decision making difficult."
