Pros

Meaningful work esp if you enjoy criminal law Lots of liti exposure Autonomy over most cases Some great and very bright people Job security max Collegiate environment

Cons

Pay can’t compete with top end in private sector which is why the most promising will always leave or consider leaving Job security on the flip side means relatively more non-contributing people hanging about Unpredictable top-down directions and changes Middle management can’t do much at best and try to second guess what the ultimate bosses want at worst Workload in certain divisions untenable - might as well go private Bureaucratic Career progression depends very much on factors out of control like scholar, JLC, how much bosses like you

Pros

stable, good if you’re not an executive or ok with extremely slow progression

Cons

extremely slow progression. very legal officer centric. seems like changes are geared towards making legal officers’ lives better. non-legally trained officers are expected to do more and more legal and admin work so legal officers have less to do, and non-legally trained officers are seen as not up to par if they are unable to do certain tasks that should be a legal officer’s job, even though they are not trained for it. this will all be packaged as “training and development” and to “justify” promotions, which you don’t get unless you are part of a privileged few that management favors. if you’re good at playing games and want to spend more time doing that than doing actual work, then this place is perfect for you.
