Largely very positive place to work - Administrator Scottish Government Employee Review

Pros

Good HR policies (largely followed), good concern for employee welfare, working hours are reasonable, you either get flexitime or paid overtime, great leave allowance, good maternity policies, great in-house gym (for a small fee)

Cons

Some inconsistencies with adherence to HR policies, patchy management (mostly at a junior and middle management level), under-staffed due to staff reductions without reduction of work, salaries aren't always great and duties vary wildly in different posts at the same grade, ludicrously difficult to progress between "bands".
