Featured Review
I have been working at University of Cambridge full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
- Well funded institution: research never/rarely limited by financial constraints - Intelligent and hard-working students and faculty - College administration is very supportive; genuinely seem to... prioritize student welfare (St John's)
Cons
- Bureaucracy at Departmental and University levels: degree time is quite rigid, mechanisms to extend/intermit can be slow and tedious

Advice to Management
There have been a lot of positive changes over the past couple of years, but it's necessary to keep up the positive trajectory and try and ensure a consistency of engagement and experience in all... roles in all locations.
