Pros

Nothing worth mentioning really...'flexible working' maybe? But you can have this elsewhere with work dignity as well.

Cons

You first face the elegant Victorian building from the outside and you want to think this place feels right for psychotherapy training…. You then walk into the building and you see in the reception area a dirty, worn-out sofa (with load of messy yellowed files stuck on top of it). Life there seems to have paused in the 80s and you want to think that this is just a nostalgic sign that this place perseveres to the ancient, hand-crafted values of psychotherapy, rather than modern technology and facilities ….. and you may manage to hold on to these romantic impressions for a little while, as long as you don’t take your job too seriously, you are not explicitly above average and you are willing to surrender to the initiation/obedience trials for admittance to the dominant sect. But this kind of mask may feel too dehumanising and incongruent for you …. especially when you see what lies behind this scene: of herd of human shadows strangulating anything different to them and squandering quickly the vanishing reputation of what was once a pioneer psychotherapy institute in the 80s…. But the door is always close enough to exit and start breathing again.

Pros

Hybrid working, nice location to commute to and 'was' a good working environment first couple of years.

Cons

Many colleagues had issues when new lesdership came in, staff reluctant to change, high turnover, allegations of discrimination and racism. Lots of politics and some very incompetent staff who were poorly managed.

Pros

- Hybrid working and flexibility: At Metanoia, employees have the option to work either from home or in the office, accommodating individual preferences and promoting a better work-life balance. - Supporting team members: My manager and colleagues have consistently offered support and viewed my mistakes as opportunities for growth. Management avoids micromanagement, allowing for innovation and experimentation in problem-solving. - Close-knit culture: As a mid-size institute located in a charming, cozy building, Metanoia fosters a tight-knit culture where we feel valued and connected. - Kitchen Facilities: The facilities of Kitchen are really better than other Institute, it might not be fancy but it is like a home equipped with all you need. - Christmas Holidays: In addition to regular holidays, we enjoy three weeks of paid time off in December, which is highly cherished and appreciated.

Cons

- Resource Limitations: Owing to some budget constraints, Metanoia has limited resources (financial, technological, etc.) that leads to more admin and operational work on day-to-day basis.
