Pros

Most people I met at the LGA were happy in their roles and felt there was lots of room for moving around within the organisation to new and interesting roles. The company often offers home working contracts which opens up opportunities for people living outside of London

Cons

Unfortunately my role was not as interesting in practice as it sounded on paper. It was very admin heavy and didn't maximise the skills and experience my colleagues and I brought to the role. The main issue however was a manager who was a bully and fostered an environment were people were scared to share their ideas or speak their minds. This resulted in a very unhappy workforce and the entire team leaving over the course of 1 year, including the manager. Hopefully newcomers will have a better experience now that this manager has left

Pros

Great organisation, wonderful people good progression IF you get in with the right sort. Very decent pay FANTASTIC CEO who clearly has integrity.

Cons

Some directors lack experience in team management, overlook legislation, willingly and knowingly overwork teams and play favourites. One in particular lies to cover the self.

Pros

Working on some really exciting projects.

Cons

Management is generally poor. No recognition for the work you do. There is a culture of secrecy among management, and a lack of transparency. Half of the directorate I work in plan on moving on sooner rather than later.
