Pros

Team culture is generally quite supportive and collaborative, with most colleagues open to helping and forward-thinking in their approach (though this varies by team). There are interesting and unique development opportunities available, especially for those who take initiative and actively seek them out. Good work–life balance overall, with flexible working hours and hybrid/WFH options available in lots of roles. Subsidised food and coffee is a good perk.

Cons

Some legacy systems and processes remain in place, which slows innovation and efficiency in certain areas. Due to the sensitive nature of the work, transparency around projects and overall impact can be limited, and day-to-day responsibilities differ slightly from initial expectations. Pay is ok within the sector, though it may not always reflect the technical depth and responsibility of certain roles. There is still progress to be made in terms of diversity
