Pros
Some great staff wanting to make a difference. Good annual leave allowance and flexible working.
Cons
There is not a sufficient amount of staff to support and develop the digital systems and carry out any future development. Plans from senior management to turn to a different model and create product teams has been unsuccessful and are unrealistic based on numbers of staff. Over reliance on external contractors to deliver digital solutions and lack of understanding of those commissioning the work on why they are even being developed. Digital transformation seems like a tick box exercise in developing new systems without any thought if how the impact existing landscape. Many of the staff including senior managers are also contractors which creates and environment of temporary solutions for the lengths of people's contracts. Overall issues are ignored and pushed under the rug. Difficult to see anything changing it's just a constant cycle of the same thing.
