Vantaggi
You get to work on some of the most exciting things in Government. The work is fast paced, the Department is on the younger, more dynamic side, and you get to work often with very smart people who are passionate about what they do.
Svantaggi
Experiences can vary hugely depending on your team and your line manager. Poor line managers abound. Team cultures can vary from excellent and supportive to toxic. If you are interested in a role it's work trying to speak with someone in that team first to get a feel for it. Some roles have massive responsibility and massive workloads but you're paid the same as someone in a quieter policy area with less work and less responsibility. Luck of the draw again depending on role and team.... Find a good one!
