Transport for London Employer Reviews

What I loved most about my job is that it afforded me the opportunity in getting involved in every aspect of the organisation and I enjoyed the decision making responsibility I had. There isn't any typical day at work for TfL. It is a live job affected by things happening on the road so there isn't a boring day. The job covered all of London so it was – more... fun meeting with people from other areas so you don't get to work with just the same people everyday. The hardest part of the job is how slow operations is to make any changes, trying to change mindsets of this how we've always done things. It was fun getting them to make those changes and the accolades that followed – less

i nearly froze to death whilst being force to stand in one spot in minus tempertures in order to carry checks on the bus running times.

The overall experience was unique and challenging. The people have an amazing dedication to work.

ATTENDING COURT AS PROSECUTING WITNESS; SPOT CHECKS OF DRIVERS AND VEHICLES, PROCESSING PRIVATE HIRE AND TAXI LICENCE APPLICATIONS, VISITING APPLICANTS AT THEIR PREMISES AND INTERVIEWING THEM TO DETERMINE THEIR SUITABILITY FOR A PRIVATE HIRE LICENCE. CONDUCTING COMPLIANCE INSPECTIONS, INVESTIGATING COMPLAINTS AND VERIFYING INTELLIGENCE REPORTS.

Having worked at TfL and London Underground for 7 years I will be sad to leave at the end of the year.

Working there for 20+ years is common (one of the managers has been there 46 years!) and this epitomises the place.

The culture is hierarchical and as a result sometimes decisions don't get made quickly. However, its a happy place to be, people are – more... welcoming and approachable and work/life balance is very strong and supported.

This is partly because of the heavily unionised environment but also because management want their employees to be engaged and give great customer service. I strongly recommend working at TfL and London Underground. – less

Protecting the customer's staff from injury and property from loss caused by fire, theft, flood and accident, controlling and monitoring all pedestrians in and out of the premises and also providing basic network and route information as requested.

I know how important it is to have a steady and reliable presence on hand to monitor customers’ property, – more... preserve safety, and prevent theft, vandalism and other issues.

Observation skills are very important in security. When working in public safety, it's also important to communicate clearly and directly, without escalating tensions.

Ensuring customer safety and providing updated information about train.

Responsible for customers safety within the station i work. – less

Probably the No. 1 transportation agency in Europe, and arguably the world. Very engaging

Tfl was a great company to work for with a great work life balance. A busy day went very fast at the Palestra based office with great views over London. The team of people working there made the job feel secure and the benefits where included in your salary.

Over 5,000 staff within the headquarters but very strong on diversity. Excellent place to work where staff at every level feels connected.
