Avantages
Lovely people to work with.
Inconvénients
Total lack of investment in not only staff but also site. Makes you feel like there is no point being there. Outdated labs and offices (no heating or air con - so always uncomfortable working conditions), lack of training (no plan to training at all), many months spent when you first staff not knowing what to do - given no direction. Constant addition of more and more responsibilities without any additional incentives (pay, promotions, they wont even pay for a Christmas meal and bonuses are reserved for senior staff only ). They wont even replace staff that have left the company (leaving the rest of the staff with even more workload). Senior management talk down to you and dont listen to your opinions or suggestions insisting that they know best. Terrible organisation (absolute lack of coordination between senior management and laboratory staff. Pay way below competitors, especially for Cambridge. Senior staff lie to you and tell you want you want to hear without any action actually being taken, you feel underappreciated and just like a number - depressing place to work.
