National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Employee Reviews about "senior management"

Pros

NICE is really well-regarded and employs incredibly qualified and respected people. The offices in both Manchester and London are really central and well-equipped. Lots of possibilities for homeworking and flexible hours - great for work-life balance.

Cons

Some of our processes are pretty slow, it can take a while to get approval to go ahead with certain projects. But to be fair, once you have the backing of the senior management team, things get moving pretty quickly.

Pros

Excellent benefits and work life balance Flexible hours and Toil Working from home when needed Generous people policies Great mission to bring consistency to the NHS Free tea and coffee in the offices City centre location

Cons

Very process driven Slow to adapt to change Senior team are not always connected with the people on the floor Low career opportunities from mid to senior management - minimal roles between 8a and 8c/d No talent management Quite a directive environment. CEO tells you and you do it.

Pros

Working as a health economist in the guidelines department is fantastic. Endless series of research projects, good amount of time to build detail models that directly inform NHS policy and better paying, more secure contracts than academia.

Cons

Same resource constraints as everywhere in the NHS. Difficult to progress into senior management but progression from analyst to middle management is pretty frequent.
