Identity & Passport Service contract

[Fips]

I was hoping someone here has worked or knowns anything about working at the IPS. I'm a premie and have been offered an interview for a well paid 6-month contract role at this place and wanted to get some feedback on what its like to work there. Is it full of contractors or permies or consultant types? Is it seen as bit of a gravy train for contractors i.e. do they usually offer extentions, loads of politics. (in)competent managers, etc

I would appreciate any help.

Those are fairly irrelevant (not to say dumb) questions, I have to say. Obvious you're a permie...

Can you do the job? Can you justfy your rate? Will it lead to better things? Those are the questions you need answering

If you go in as a contractor, why do you care what the people are like, you're there to deliver something. If you really can't stand it, you leave and try somewhere else. Think contractor...
