      Pros

      All the usual civil service perks! Flexible working, worklife balance etc

      Cons

      Institutional racism! Lots of bullying and harassment with management turning a blind eye. If you are a BAME please this Department is not for you as you will never progress and kept at the bottom of the ladder!

      Pros

      It can feel like a nice department to work in in terms of the subject area It is possible to move sideways easily

      Cons

      Flexibility we had during covid is decreasing. When based outside of London now you can feel left out of opportunities and conversations Pay is less than equivalent grades in other departments
