Pros

Good Pension scheme. Due to size there are pockets of good places to work but also pockets of very poor departments to work. Its a failing organisation which creates such cultures.

Cons

Systemic Bullying and many people having strokes and mental health issues as a consequence. HR close ranks on investigations and do not act. Victims/complainants are side-lined, isolated and eventually made (by re-structuring) redundant. Managers close ranks. Very poor atmosphere in office - fear of 'rocking the boat'. Long hours, no lunch breaks, performance reviews doctored to be negative. Initiative and creativity definitely not wanted. Constant reorganisation, so having to apply for own job every 12 moths and lack of quality and clear leadership…
