Pros

Some really great colleagues, working with people from across the U.K. and world, flexible working, interesting topics, interesting projects, freedom to shape role. Competitive salary.

Cons

I echo some of the negative comments. Really poor senior leadership - some good individuals but not joined up at all. Lack of accountability. Too much admin but also lack of process and systems that don’t join us up. No strategy (although it’s being developed now at last) which really shows. I also agree that there is a bit of group think and the EDI seems a bit tick box, especially when senior management magically get promotions that didn’t appear to be advertised anywhere…

Pros

Free low quality coffee, 30 days annual leave - if you can take them - but you'll need un

Cons

A duplicitous organisation that pretends to be woke whilst treating most staff like trash. The pay and perks are terrible for the majority of staff and the redundancy payouts the lowest in the UK. They also expect notice to be worked without discussion. Current staff best look for work ASAP or just leave to save your sanity. Anyone joining should really think twice. No one senior wants to make a decision or is even capable, and every internal process is painful and inefficent. The senior execs received pay rises and are mostly over paid compared to other staff, and yet its the productive lower paid staff who get the chop. Nice. Even their funder, UKRI was surprised by recent Exec pay rises. The research is mostly second tier with partners looking elsewhere, and who can blame them. The only question is, does the new CEO know how dysfunctional this place really is?
