Pros

Staff Travel - 90% of ticket price + tax for standby ticket. Essentially means you can fly if theseat would otherwise be empty. Popular destinations during school holidays therefore a big no-no. Colleauges - bit hit and miss. Some departments really nice, although others have serious bullying issues that Senior management will not tackle. Nice offices - restaurant food is good (and subsidised), average gym (also subsidised), starbucks, Waitrose and Duty free shop on site.

Cons

Managers have a lot of individual power - get a bad one and you'll suffer. A lot. Pay not great for new starters as company tries to balacne out older staff on civil service contracts by paying 20-30% below industry standard. Don't really getthe feeling that Senior Management values staff. Often feels as though the company is trying to get one over on us rather than rewarding people for the hardwork and long hours they demand.
