Current Employee – been working at Met Office
Pros – Everyone has heard of the Met Office.
The work is usually very interesting.
To be part of something truly world class.
A nice office building.
Cons – Pay is low.
Pay progression is practically non-existent.
You have to put up with increasing amounts of Lime Green in day to day work life.
Advice to Senior Management – Sort out the pay and everything else will suddenly fix itself.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
