You can get to work on interesting stuff but don’t feel valued

Business Outlook

Pros

You can work on interesting policy and strategy, good location within London, good annual leave entitlement and pension

Cons

I’ve never felt valued throughout the time in the Department. The organisation as a whole does not particularly support you. IT, HR and corporate policies serve only as obstacles to delivery, never opportunities.
