Pros
Some interesting projects and able to network with a variety of organisations across the public sector and charity sector.
Cons
Awful work/life balance. Despite being explicit about lack of resource and time to do projects, this would fall on deaf ears. The organisation only cares about making shareholders money so the actual people don't matter. The seniors are very good at saying the right think to appear that they care but actions prove otherwise. Saw clear cases of discrimination and favouritism, given that some people seemed to be highly favoured despite doing little work. Strange environment where people weren't very friendly or open so being in the office often felt uncomfortable and cliquey. Very damaging to mental wellbeing so only worth being here if you can grin and bear it for the connections and clout, which can be used as a springboard for your career.
