Pros

Good level of hygiene factors. The pay/reward benefits & support from managers is good. The work-life balance is really good and their is a lot of respect for your life outside of E.ON. It is hard to fault the basics of a job at E.ON

Cons

It feels a bit dated in their approach. We aren't cutting edge or industry leading and this really shows across the business. The lack of innovation or willingness to try different approaches makes day to day life slightly boring and unfulfilling . There is also a difficulty to progress past a certain point. You seem to hit mid band and then it is hard to see where you can go next.

Pros

Diverse business units, ever changing regulatory landscape and external forces means that no two projects are ever the same.

Cons

Over governance of project fund sanctioning hinders time to market. Need to empower local business units more to make investment decisions in a timely way.

Pros

Given responsibility from an early stage of your career and room to develop. Lots of investment in the graduate program that gave me loads of opportunities. Strongly customer centric and focused on changing opinion of energy firms

Cons

Leadership is poor, direction is constantly changing and the strategy makes it possible to justify nearly any decision. Change is short term focused as opposed to building on the future. Too many people that have been there for too long as pay progression favours tenure over capability.
