Pros

No pros at all .

Cons

Over the course of nearly three years at Academics, I experienced a culture where serious concerns were not handled appropriately and employees were not supported. I raised issues internally regarding inappropriate behaviour by members of management, but felt that my concerns were minimised and dismissed. While the company appeared to act to protect its own interests at a senior level, I did not feel supported as an individual. I was placed in situations where I had to continue working closely with individuals I had raised concerns about, which created an extremely uncomfortable and, at times, intimidating working environment. There were also clear issues around confidentiality, with sensitive matters being discussed openly, which significantly impacted my trust in management. The overall culture made it difficult to speak up without fear of being undermined. The cumulative effect of these experiences had a significant impact on my wellbeing and ultimately left me feeling I had no option but to resign.

Pros

Would've been nice if I actually get to work.

Cons

For a company that promised an immediate role, they are very slow at the vetting process. Not only that, but they blamed me for not getting my name right on my national insurance- I went to check and that was not the case. It's now been a month since the promised "immediate" role and still no work. Disappointed.
