Pros

Work can be interesting. Most individuals are nice to work with. Grad scheme allows for trying different departments and types of role.

Cons

Grad scheme pays lower than other comparable companies. Grad placement rating and pay rises are entirely dependent on the department (people in one department can be doing more than those in another but receive less pay rise). Despite expectation of grads spending ~30% time on extras beyond the day job, there's no recognition for this in reviews. Some managers shouldn't be managing. Grads pushed to be on site even when the rest of the team WFH - not the balance that's advertised.

Pros

Great work-life balance. Good opportunities for progression. Good office culture, every one is very down to Earth and helpful. Flexibility around working hours and opportunities to work from home.

Cons

Due to being a large defence organisation, there is a lot of bureaucracy involved to make seemingly small changes and to do trivial things. Slow to upgrade monitors, desktops, etc.
