Business outlook
Pros
Friendly people. Flexible working. Large organisation with lots of opportunities. National profile. Always trying to improve. Pays reasonably well with bonus scheme and employee benefits.
Cons
Sometimes change isn't managed well. Being a large organisation means it is hard to drive consistency. Doesn't always learn from past mistakes. Heavily dependent on Government funding. Often portrayed negatively in the media. Parts of the organisation are highly unionised which sometimes holds back progressive thinking.
