Pros

Working level staff are generally very smart and very competent

Cons

Constant restructures, good performance is rewarded with more work while poor performance is ignored, leadership lack authenticity and generally seem clueless, constantly under resourced and current restructure is causing a mass exit of talented staff who have enough of all the cons, compared to other areas of the civil service they will rip all they can out of you and then look like a deer in the headlights if you dare to ask to be paid for it. They rely on goodwill of staff to work more than they should to keep market afloat

Pros

Progression over perfection. Continual desire to improve, and inform wider Ofgem strategy. Interesting work. Invests in LoD. 1 Day/week in office (current policy). Employee culture is good, people generally treat each other very well. The relationship with management (i.e. and that between SCS & the unions) is more convoluted.

Cons

Leadership & direction can be lacking. Management does not always act on findings. Decision making becomes opaque, with little to no debate. Like many places, not all colleagues are treated equally by management.
