      Pros

      flexible working, good hours, ok holiday allowance

      Cons

      Individuals often act pleasantly in person, but their sincerity is questionable. Higher-ups and colleagues from other departments can be disrespectful and offensive without facing consequences. The compensation isn't as high as it could be. Team leaders openly admit that there are limited opportunities for career advancement. Efforts to move forward in your career are frequently hindered by delays caused by slow-moving public sector employees.

      Thank you for your review. It is great you enjoy the work life balance and benefits. There are times where employees work longer working hours but this time is compensated in either overtime or can be accrued as flexi-time. It is great you find the role and work rewarding. Thank you again for your review.

      Pros

      The work in some parts of the organisation is good. There are several opportunities to work with foreign governments on some leading technology programmes.

      Cons

      Management is poor, in some cases bullying is rife, the executive board are totally detached and the CEO is a halfwit. The Helios change programme was shady with studies being carried out until the 'correct' answer was achieved. Pay is well below the MOD and following the recent move to no longer run under trading fund status and to become a core part of MOD, pay scales will not be harmonised, so do not count on equity in pay.
