Cambridge Assessment Employee Reviews about "career progression"

Pros

benefits including 28 days hols and paid overtime at weekends - double pay sundays.

Cons

bad management decisions, no support, senior management would not even speak to you, overworked with no work life balance (even though they promote this) i was offered no performance objectives and no career progression. weird culture - nobody talks to people everyone just skypes....

Pros

It is a job, you can say you are employed... Flexible working hours? People usually get fooled by its Association with the University of Cambridge

Cons

Low ethics, poor management, very bureaucratic, a lot of old elephants, no career progression opportunities, nepotism and favouritism in promotion, unprofessional HR department with no power, work to death!

Pros

Really good culture, very relaxed but productive

Cons

Not enough clear career progression for me. People seem to be happy collecting a paycheck and working 9 -5, no clear senior management progression

Pros

Wonderful virtual teamwork amongst the bosses and colleagues, despite the fact that many of them are located all over the world in different timezones. One of the most established heritage brands in education, yet very progressive in adopting new technologies and channels.

Cons

If you are a curriculum / programme developer, you are probably better off in the head office in the UK for career progression rather than in a satellite office.

Pros

Good location Good benefits Good social calendar Good on site catering facilities Probably good as a first job

Cons

Limited to non existent career progression Secretive and devious HR managers Un-fair appraisal system Managers take credit for the work you do Senior staff seem disengaged and removed from the 'real world' No genuine recognition or understanding of the contribution you make Disproportionate balance of workload amongst staff Took on new staff and threw expensive training at them but failed to invest in the staff they have Biggest regret about leaving the organisation...that I didn't do it sooner!!!
