Defence Science and Technology Laboratory Reviews

Progression at Dstl has been an issue

Pay, pay is far less than that of our civil service equivalent grade, and we mostly have to have a degree to work in the science and technology area, so for that we get paid less then equivalent grade and they do not require a degree. Career progression is now slow, the new changes have made my promotional prospects basically zero. The senior leadrship team are very much below par, there is a distinct disconnect between reality and what they think is happening, and when challenged, they get very defensive. Morale amongst the workforce is low, and the recent changes, that were handled awfully dod not make that any better.
