Pros

Good work-life balance, nice facilities and training. Possibility to work in interesting projects that have direct impact on people's lives

Cons

Lower salary than private companies for equivalent roles. Milton Keynes is not a vibrant place to live in, might get harsh to move there from elsewhere.

Pros

There is flexibility and respect between my line manager, peers and me. There's support and the opportunity to communicate with my colleagues. The company's policies and behaviours are diverse and inclusive for a woman in the industry. There's talent programmes for individuals that show great potential for support and progression

Cons

In some cases, change of roles or promotions can take some time to go through from interview to being in post, but progression is supported.
