Pros

The staff... Until you are beaten into submission and lose all sense of pride the staff are great. Unfortunately it doesn't take long until the "model employee" mode kicks in and all value-add is lost.

Cons

EDF do not in any way "care" about it's employees. HR is inept, but to be fair that's not difficult in this organisation. Senior Leadership is locked in some childish playground power struggle and incapable of providing leadership. Exec Team are absent and leave the children to run the nursery.

Pros

Good salary and commission, incentives and a lot of opportunity for overtime. Safe and secure lifestyle, unless you're caught doing something wrong (there are lots of rules)

Cons

High school style discipline, anal management, over-the-top processes and regulations. Can you see yourself sitting on a phone until you're 60?

Pros

They have strong values and good working practices. There is some great talent there that is really focused on improving the industry.

Cons

Still quite a few people with the old public sector mentality who don't like change and they are holding back talent from growing and making the company a better place
