Pros

Important work, great platform, smart and committed colleagues

Cons

There have just been mass layoffs that were solely the result of financial mismanagement and were handled in a way that signaled an almost sadistic disregard for staff wellbeing. When you lose trust this spectacularly it doesn’t come back any time soon.

Good company, in transition

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours, decent pay, great colleagues, international reputation, many opportunities for networking and travelling.

Cons

Currently in a major institutional transition, and it is difficult for new people to navigate. Lots of hierarchy! Confusing structure. Review process for publishing articles, research etc is terrible - needs to be better streamlined.
