      Unconscious Bias

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are expected standards of behaviour and mostly people are professional. If you like a comfy desk job, you know how to manage upwards and allay managers fears when it comes to setting unrealistic expectations-then this is the place to work.

      Cons

      However, there is a lot of unconscious bias when it comes to applying for a job or going for promotion. You have to become an expert in writing answers to competency based interview questions and preparing for interview questions. Also, if you apply via Manpower (their recruitment agency) then forget about having the opportunity to demonstrate your ability or potential - you have to complete and pass a psychometric test before you can even submit a completed application form.

      Shambolic

      Pros

      Flexible shift working - can start earlier and finish earlier

      Cons

      Management are shambolic. The SEO's are abysmal, They preside over a culture of stress and intense micro management, and then send AI written "wellbeing" emails at the end of the week which feels like a slap in the face. Asylum is known for having the highest turn over in the Home Office as its intensely stressful, management are out of touch, promotions are offered on a cost cutting basis rather than who is the best fit. Abysmal. Working for the government has made me realise just why those in cabinet and at the top of the government are so incompetent - they preside over an entire hierarchy of incompetence

      Pros

      Pension, nice office, lovely colleagues, good Managers....mostly. I should say flexi but won't (see below)

      Cons

      I would have said flexi as a pro but in my department it is frowned upon to build any or take any. The G7 seems to have made up their own rules with regard to flexi. Constantly sent negative emails, changes galore. Do not use mobiles is a constant message even though there has been literally no work to do for a couple of months. Senior managers out of touch and seem to be out to make an impression for their own ends
