Pros

- I worked within a planning, regeneration and placemaking function and gained valuable exposure to local government planning and development projects. - Opportunity to work on a broad range of strategic planning, regeneration and placemaking initiatives. - Flexible working arrangements, including the opportunity to work a compressed four-day week.

Cons

- Limited progression opportunities. - Inconsistent management quality. - Performance and contribution were not always clearly recognised or rewarded. - Workplace culture can be politically complex, with inconsistent accountability and management oversight.

Pros

Very nice people who were genuinely excited about the project... very kind and willing to help out.

Cons

Communication was sort of a minimum when we needed more guidance, but really, that's my only quirk. Pleasant experience!
