Pros

Flexible working opps, hybrid working model, great colleagues, well equipped offices, pretty good pay. Opportunities to get involved.

Cons

Communication is patchy depending on where you work and who you work for. They often fail to "walk the talk" on many initiatives. They place too much emphasis on new and/or young talent, often ignoring older and/or more established staff for opportunities. Too many "consultants" working at a senior level, overpaid and creating additional issues for perm staff to clear up once they leave. Biggest frustration is getting slated by politicians and public for perceived failings usually instigated by Government or Government policy.
