Pros & Cons

  • For me, it has been an incredibly supportive working environment. The workplace is casual and friendly, yet professional and concerned with results
  • The freedom and flexibility to work in different fields, on different projects and with thousands of different people is a huge bonus
  • Flexible work and work-life balance arrangements
  • The variety of work means no two days are the same so it's always interesting
  • There is much opportunity for training on the job, formally in the classroom, shadowing executives, and talking to others
  • Sometimes progress in Government can be slow
  • There is quite high turnover, both voluntarily and structurally
  • There is a great deal of anxiety about increasing job insecurity
  • The interview process can be long and drawn out
  • I am living paycheck to paycheck, especially given recent rent rises
