Pros

You learn a lot and get good experience but you don’t need to stay very long to get what you need out of it.

Cons

Poor senior management, good managers are not valued. Competent staff are continually overloaded and not rewarded and poor staff are not dealt with. In some cases I have seen poor performance rewarded just because managers are too weak to have honesty conversations with difficult and obstructive people. Ministers are too demanding and unrealistic. Everything that is said about the Home Secretary and her unreasonable behaviour or completely true.
