Pros

Lovely new lab but badly planned - based on a kitchen rather than industry. Great colleagues. Free coffee

Cons

Very poor management. Very high staff turnover, people leaving every day. Staff not valued. Although the MD informed everyone of the £30m profit, reasonable pay rise requests were refused. Staff development plans cancelled with no notice. Promises by line manager not kept. Very depressing atmosphere, Staff work hard but are then subject to verbal abuse. Had to sign a contract agreeing not to show emotion at work! Even though Staff in tears daily. Don't apply here unless you are hard as nails and don't think you are worth an annual pay rise! I gave it 100% for 7 years and at the end felt worthless

Pros

People 'on the ground' are largely nice, good perks such as an annual carnival laid on for free, a bag of cosmetics every couple of months and a workers committee that lay on events.

Cons

Toxic culture, an air of mistrust everywhere. If you don't get it in writing it can't be relied upon. Any conversations had, even about day to day things, you have to get that senior person to 'add a comment' or send an email. Bizarre culture. Managers generally dreadful, very few exceptions.

Pros

Nice office, system and structures.

Cons

The pressure, the politics, they always like to find someone to blame to instead or focus on trying to fix things. The culture is like that, some people are only faking to be nice to you especially when you’re only a chemist. The location is too remote, otherwise I would stay longer as I’m not really bother on politics as long as it’s not effected me (maybe because I’m just a chemist so less pressure).
