Avantages

Work from home Maternity leave Flexible working hours Training - they are more than happy to throw training at you, just never the opportunity to use the training. Its an amazing training ground for moving to another company

Inconvénients

If you enjoy being told pointless words instead of actual direction and dont care about career progression, then this is the place for you. To be able to progress, you have to wait for someone to leave, die or complain enough about someone to take their job. There is no set career progression, people leave to allow for "reduction in staff", but then accept more work than the current employees can handle. A recruitment freeze for over 2 years means we dont have new people joining us, which means we lose young bright minds. Backwards views on staff treatment. No real pay rise in forever. 4.8% during a cost of living crisis when the salary is already below standard is not good enough. Car parking is a joke - there's a need to drive to site, but there isn't enough parking for all employees. Don't expect people to work on site, when there are no parking spaces or desk space to do so. Extortionate coffee - costa is all well and good, but at £3.65 for a medium latte, thats extreme when we get paid civil service salary but expected to pay retail price for coffee. Beige food - claims to be healthy and then serves huel from a fridge. Poor work life balance - an expectation to work the level above you for a year (with no additional incentive) to then be told you cant have the position above you with no real feedback. Working disgustingly long hours for little reward, but no choice because theres not enough staff and the cycle continues.

Thank you for your review. It is great you enjoy the work life balance and benefits. There are times where employees work longer working hours but this time is compensated in either overtime or can be accrued as flexi-time. It is great you find the role and work rewarding. Thank you again for your review.

Avantages

The work in some parts of the organisation is good. There are several opportunities to work with foreign governments on some leading technology programmes.

Inconvénients

Management is poor, in some cases bullying is rife, the executive board are totally detached and the CEO is a halfwit. The Helios change programme was shady with studies being carried out until the 'correct' answer was achieved. Pay is well below the MOD and following the recent move to no longer run under trading fund status and to become a core part of MOD, pay scales will not be harmonised, so do not count on equity in pay.
