RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at University of Manchester full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Great pay and benefits, good internal job mobility, generally fair treatment.
Cons
Higher management can be a wee bit nepotistic, which is... frustrating. Also, some have worked here for so long they predate modern technology, and not all are willing to update their habits.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at University of Manchester full-time
Pros
Very good quality facilities.
Well structured courses
Friendly and approachable staff
Good communication networkCons
The teaching is somewhat lack lustre
The structure of the courses could be higher
There aren’t sufficient deadlines
Would be good to receive more feedback off workAdvice to Management
Resturucture the way in which you teach - don’t simply set coursework deadlines at the end of term and no hand in work before then. It’s easy to get complacent and it removes all forms of routine and structure.
