Pros

Good range of industry partner organisations to work with on projects. Feels like you're doing something worthwhile if a project goes well and you've helped. Some good benefits, office coffee machine and drinks. Seems like a really good place to work if you are a researcher, especially if you're a popular/public known researcher.

Cons

Awful business team leadership. EDI and values are a joke. They put someone in charge of the EDI group doesn't appear to have experience or training in edi or any minorities and doesn't appear to actually want diversity aside from ticking a box. I have witnessed bullying and some just generally horrible staff. Awful programme management team leadership, don't appear to value anyone below them in the structure. Business team led by incompetent directors results in shoddy business, conflict and confusion. If you want a good environment to work in this is not the place. If you want to not see your colleagues souls crushed day after day while incompetency rises to the top. DO NOT WORK HERE.

Pros

Free low quality coffee, 30 days annual leave - if you can take them - but you'll need un

Cons

A duplicitous organisation that pretends to be woke whilst treating most staff like trash. The pay and perks are terrible for the majority of staff and the redundancy payouts the lowest in the UK. They also expect notice to be worked without discussion. Current staff best look for work ASAP or just leave to save your sanity. Anyone joining should really think twice. No one senior wants to make a decision or is even capable, and every internal process is painful and inefficent. The senior execs received pay rises and are mostly over paid compared to other staff, and yet its the productive lower paid staff who get the chop. Nice. Even their funder, UKRI was surprised by recent Exec pay rises. The research is mostly second tier with partners looking elsewhere, and who can blame them. The only question is, does the new CEO know how dysfunctional this place really is?
