Great for work-life balance. I finish earlyish, generally around 5 and work remotely four days a week.
Cons
It will depend on your directorate, but in mine there aren't many learning and development opportunities. It feels like a dead end job. The salary is also poor, even by civil service standards. There is general lack of dynamism too
