UCL has the best professors in London and leading departments across disciplines.

intensive work load and so on
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros

Cons
Work very unstructured, not accommodating to WFH, limits on when you can take annual leave
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Relatively good opportunities for career progression and a large network
Cons
mostly short term contracts with no security
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
As with many other universities, the work is very regimented and it's very clear what everyone's responsibilities are. Unions are strong, benefits and pension are good and the atmosphere is very progressive and inclusive.
Cons
Work can get monotone and it's hard to change or implement anything new - things are very slow to change and there are many, many levels of bureaucracy. Perhaps this is a necessity and how things are at all institutions of this size, but I imagine it's possible to streamline a lot of the work we have to do.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Very progressive workplace with development opportunities.
Cons
Less opportunity for leadership roles
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Flexible. good training. rewarding job.
Cons
Burdensome RTW process that can be slow.
