"A great place to work"
StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsI worked at AQA full-time
Pros
An enjoyable working environment, with permanent members of staff and management always on hand to offer advice and support. It's great to know that you are contributing towards something worthwhile, which helps to create the positive and friendly atmosphere that AQA has.
Cons
Most contracts are temporary and, as staff are recruited as and when needed, some members of staff miss out on proper training.

Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at AQA full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Very intelligent people, great campus, good facilities and good fun. It's all good, unless you want to do something new
Cons
Lots of pretending to want change, but no desire to do what's necessary to get there. Ultimately, the noble purpose of doing good in education is stuck in the industrial revolution
Advice to Management
Don't pretend to be something you're not
