Pros

Interesting work Some good managers Many lovely coworkers and lots of nice social events planned Nice benefits Best place I've worked

Cons

Short contracts and 10 years to access pension Several staff who think it's okay to shout at people. Bad maternity pay The centre doesn't have to stick to UK law and never seem to lose at their own internal appeals process (unnerving) Must be in office 3 times per week

Pros

- Working with some of the best minds in weather forecasting and associated HPC technologies - Friendly and co-operative working environment, continually pushing the boundaries in the field - Good salary / pension / retire at 63 / 30 days leave entitlement + PH - Active staff committee supporting staff where necessary

Cons

- Senior management can be tone-deaf when listening to staff's feedback (which is not often sought) - Outside of UK or European employment law, - Management can sometimes be haphazard - some managers promoted to reward technical/scientific expertise rather than management & strategic skills - Limited advancement/promotion opportunities as it's a small organisation, with high competition for opportunities that do arise
