Pros

Great pension; good managers; lots of smart colleagues; desire to embrace good working and technical practices (TDD and CI/CD for instance); very user focused; strong salary especially outside London

Cons

Pay progression is limited at some point; projects may not be that technically complex to some in private sector; front-end work is quite constrained sure to the (excellent) design system
