Pros
Good work life balance (some of the public sector stereotypes are true!); good training opportunities if you are on the development scheme; HR quite flexible and helpful in ensuring that I got a job that was suited to my skills and needs.
Cons
There were a number of good things about the Inland Revenue, but I was aware that I was working in the head office of a huge, bureaucratic organisation. I had a feeling as a young graduate recruit that many people had worked there way up from the regional offices and so it didn't feel dynamic or innovative. Plus no-one wants to talk to you at parties!
