National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Employee Reviews about "flexible working"

Pros

It is often said that people are nice at NICE and this really is true. Working within an arms length body of the department of health really makes you fell like you are positively contributing to the NHS and wider health and social care sector. The Organisation is committed to employees personal and professional development. Recent improvements have seen a strong increase in employee engagement, with a focus on wellbeing and shared communication. The pay and Benefits package really are very generous for an NHS agenda for change employer. The flexible working culture assists with work-life balance and is open to all.

Cons

As with most public sector organisations systems and process can sometimes feel rather cumbersome.

Pros

Good flexible working arrangement. Very friendly environment (at mid and senior levels).

Cons

Environment makes it to hard to innovate, teams are silos.

Pros

Flexible working, working across different disease areas, engagement with multidisciplinary stakeholders and collaborators, clear progression opportunities.

Cons

Day-to-day work can be repetitive.

Pros

Good staff benefits - carer's leave, NHS pension, cycle to work scheme, flexible working options including working from home

Cons

Slow to effect change, constant staff changes and management of change due to Department of Health funding cuts. Very hierarchical staffing structure and some senior managers are a bit power crazy.

Pros

Flexible working, nice office, office in good location and easy to get to by public transport.

Cons

Slow. Too many directors and AD's who get preferential treatment regarding flexible working i.e. directors work fraction of their hours from home from the opposite side of the country attempting to manage their teams in an office - doesn't work. Demoralised staff. No responsibility for directors and AD - they are not in the real world. If your face doesn't fit you will not get any type of promotion. Not a friendly atmosphere.
