      Pros

      Most of the rank and file are good people.

      Cons

      Management team is awful. They have taken away benefits in an effort to get people to quit. Management is totally tone-deaf

      Good people, messy organisation

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Good people, supportive and friendly, across a wide network of global locations - Interesting work if you take initiative - management generally open to new ideas but unlikely to come up with them. - Plenty of opportunity for travel - Great work/life balance - zero pressure to work long hours/weekends and time off in lieu when you absolutely have to - Good non-salary benefits - annual leave, pension etc, though healthcare is limited.

      Cons

      - Quite typically of a public sector org, hierarchical and rigid organisation, frustrating if you're based in field offices outside of Scotland in terms of progression or getting things done. - Middle/senior management often there for literally decades and more interested in their own longevity, entrenched views and big pensions than in the wellbeing of younger staff and the work culture. - Plenty of dead wood which is never moved on, while brighter people leave. - Lots of navel gazing
