Pros

Being able to put UK Visas & Immigration on your CV Some limited exposure to Human Rights ECHR litigation.

Cons

Working in Lunar House East Croydon (the building where dreams die) Horrible members of staff with bad attitudes Shocking lack of professionalism, A world where they use paper files and lose them so often, Immigration offenders remain in detention as a result and the Secretary of State gets litigated against for wrongful detention because of poorly motivated staff and hugely incompetent senior managers and ultimately tax payer’s money is wasted compensating people who should be removed from the UK. Blatant discrimination against disabled employees, such a poor culture of implementing the requirements of the Equality Act. A culture of bullying and harassment instigated by senior managers (SEO) if your face does not fit. Working with people who are so demoralised all they are waiting for is their pensions or death.
