RecommendsPositive OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at University of Liverpool full-time for more than a year
Pros
Attentive and friendly staff alongside world class research especially in Life sciences has made my time at Liverpool very enjoyable.
Cons
Very little; the amount of exams my course had last year was a bit silly and I don't believe it represents my full capabilities in the subjects (80% exam, 20% coursework, maybe 60/40? A bit too unforgiving!)

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at University of Liverpool part-time for more than a year
Pros
Lots of independence, flexible to your schedule and all from experience you have as a student.
Cons
Had a difficult time due to the department's organiser for open days, who would pick favourites and distribute shifts accordingly. Also, the shifts are highly irregular. Definitely not a job to rely on to pay bills. Lecturers helping out on the day could also be dismissive and arrogant.
Advice to Management
Treat students helping you out better, rather than obsessing over the lecturers and PhD students.
