Pros

Salary and perks are good

Cons

Company is good but clients don't know how to work in an agile way and efficiently. I know where my tax payer money is being wasted now and why government projects fail so badly.

Pros

Nothing at all to be honest

Cons

Was offered a role and signed my contract with Opencast as normal. They initially delayed my start date by a few weeks which eventually turned into serveral months without an explanation. I chased the HR team on a weekly basis to ask what was causing the delays but there was a lack of communication. They repeatedly misinformed me and misled me to believe that the delays were due to a delay in getting equipment. After several torturous months they turned around and told me that the role I had received a job offer for was no longer available. I had many offers on the table at the time of accepting this role with Opencast and as a result I am now back at square one - searching for a job.
