Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of great people, who support each other. Interesting variety of work. Completely flexible home working contracts - can work in office whenever you want, or not at all. Generous DC pension employer contribution.

Cons

Below inflation pay rises are the norm. Adequate project resourcing (quantity and quality) can be an issue - but this is common in the industry. Unrealistic project budgets.
