A government department that has been cut to the bone

Senior Executive Officer (Former Employee) - ENG - 31 December 2015

This department can be a great place to work but has recently been subjected to some areas being taken over by private companies with a lack of understanding - The hardest part of the job is explaining there are significant issues in delivering Defence requirements against Government money. Co-workers are hard working and good fun.
