Pros

- Good commitment to enabling staff to work from home and not forcing them back into the office if they don't feel comfortable/ safe - Good focus on learning and development - Quick progression if you're committed

Cons

- From a business analyst perspective the role of a BA within the Home Office is defined very differently to other organisations so trying to meet the technical competencies of the apprenticeship was very challenging - Apprenticeship provider for the BA programme is absolutely abysmal - Everything is so slow, people take forever to reply to emails or give certain pieces of work a priority so projects that should be quick take months - Majorly hierarchical, everyone is referenced by their grade rather than their job role and there's a serious lack of autonomy the lower down the grades you are which hinders personal development

Pros

I can't think of any, I would avoid this place and keep my loved ones away from an environment like home office.

Cons

No empathy towards employees Bad management system If you're new and not white expect to be bullied by your predominantly white management. Expect to be overworked. Expected the word 'expected of you' to be thrown around at you to make you feel as if you're not doing enough. Expect no training when you work in delivery/corporate parts of the department. Expect under the table subtle racial bullying and remarks.

Still can be slow to progress and when people do, that are often put in unsuitable roles.
