Pros

Starting salary which is used to attract graduates.

Cons

Accepted the offer of employment and after 6 months was told I did not pass security clearance after providing all requested proofs. If you are not from the U.K. do not even bother applying for their jobs as they will not give you a reason you do not pass their security. Management is horrendous and I could tell have not even started working for them, the job I applied for had the wrong job description and the interviewers for the role were not aware of this as I had to tell them the questions they were asking were not related to the job specs. After accepting their offer was told I would be working in a different team, HR team will not contact you regarding your application process and you will have to chase after them by emailing and calling to ask what is the progress of your application. International graduates be aware of this please as I know what it feels like to have your time wasted and rejecting other job offers to accept this one which I regret.
