Pros

the culture is friendly, very nice colleagues. Everyone is willing to help out when you bump into a problem. They are open to your ideas.

Cons

Working in providing administrative support can be boring. You may find doing the same stuff day after day and pretty monotonous.

Pros

They pay for your diploma - unfortunately it also one of the only organisations that recognise the diploma. Opportunity to travel. Decent holidays

Cons

Awful communication down the chain of command Full of public school twits They talk the talk on academic standards but this is rarely enforced. Two year contracts only - then only an offer to go hourly paid, losing all other benefits for doing the same job.
