Excellent by all accounts, nice people, interesting work, but low pay.

I can second this. I haven't worked for DSTL but I did used to work for QinetiQ (and DERA before this). DERA split into QinetiQ and DSTL. Probably very interesting work, very smart (but commercially inept - or they were in my day) people and low pay.

I'd agree with the above. I contracted there for quite a while 10+ years ago. Nice enough bunch, potentially interesting work but typical PS - Don't Start Til Later/Lunch/Lent* (*delete as appropriate).
