Reviews about "working environment"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
good working environment and collegues
Cons
intense and huge pressure on research
- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Administration, Management and bureaucracy hold this great place back
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Ground level staff, researchers and students are friendly. Understanding work environment for outside of work needs e.g appointments, uni club and bar
Cons
Senior management have become increasingly ineffective. Administrations rude and unbothered by anything you ask. Professors mainly are snobs and have no respect for anyone not at their level.. Changes have happened in the past 8 years and the senior management is the root cause. Salary is also abysmal compared to other employers. On a side note, the university’s response in initial months to coming back to work was awful and in some departments not even hand sanitizer is provided due to “cost”. Covid rampant in student accom but not tracking or tracing and coming freely into departments. Workers increasingly worried.
