Pros

They have flexible working hours, so you can start at 7:30am and finish at 3:45pm.

Cons

Dispute the Home Office promoting diversity it is an extremely bigoted organisation where bullying does take place within the workplace. Rules are bent by management, who regularly work from home without informing staff and work from home over the limit they are supposed to. Management also had no idea with regards to the actual work the juniors grades did. The Home Office has double standards and is not very well organised.

Pros

- Large amount of varied and interesting international travel - Good work/ life balance and compensation or time off in lieu for large periods away from home - Good training programmes - Largely interesting & challenging work

Cons

- Opaque management decisions, with many managers seemingly in their position because of length of time served rather than competence. - Poor communication from the centre. - Few possibilities to grow professionally or gain promotion. - Very questionable values as an organisation. Particularly around overseas aid.
