Pros

Good pay (when I joined) for a graduate A lot of lovely, knowledgeable people You're always guaranteed to find at least one person who fancies a drink on a Friday Interesting work with some opportunities for cross team and civil service experience Work/life balance can be great depending on who you work for

Cons

Few promotion opportunities The money isn't amazing long term You're often feeling like a middle man with very little genuine power/responsibility as ultimately the Department of Health have the final say on most matters Some teams have better working conditions than others

Pros

Lovely people, interesting work, good bike storage, many staff with outstanding expertise and willing to share this. Cheap-ish cafeteria at the Teddington site, although the food isn't flash (and the coffee is terrible).

Cons

Management are extremely commercially focussed. They have the information they need to make good decisions but instead tend to ignore operational staff and compliance requirements. It makes for a frustrating and unnecessarily stressful environment to work in. Very low pay compared to other opportunities available in life sciences.
