I stay away from the public sector just because I tried it once. The whole IT function had been outsourced to two different providers. To say it was an object lesson in ******* up IT services would be an understatement. When I went in on day one I asked to have Java JDK installed on my PC as part of the dev tools I needed. When I left 3 months later I was still waiting. Apparently installing anything that allowed me to write my own programs was a "security risk"

Mind you I worked with some awful contractors when I was a permie at Companies House, I often found myself thinking "Where the f*** did they find these bozo's"

The problem appears to be inside government. Public sector outside of government seems unaffected.
