Pros
Benefits package, nice office, nice friendly people, everyone is polite, mix of different age groups, great staff restaurant and café (subsidised prices), lots of training available to learn new skills or brush up on them. Job stability (I hope) due to growing business. Colleagues are very happy to help new starters to get them settled in and answer questions.
Cons
Very long application period due to high level of vetting that most jobs here require (about 10 to 12 weeks wait) but the preliminary job offer comes 2-3 weeks after the interview subject to vetting. There are roughly 20 mandatory training courses to do (ranging from 30 mins to 2 days each) plus a further 20 I was asked to do relating to my role (could be less for other job roles) which initially is overwhelming but you have a few months to do them in, On the positive side it shows the company values equipping staff with the right knowledge and supporting personal development.
