Pros

For a young graduated, this is the perfect place to start. You'd be surrounded by lots highly skilled and passionate people and you'd learn in no time all what HPC is about and how it applies to many domains of science and industry.

Cons

The organisation attached to higher education makes it quite difficult for making a proper career there due to performance metrics linked with research activity rather than actual achievements. However, for spending 3 to 5 years, that is the ideal place to become bankable.

Pros

Location and hybrid working are the only pros.

Cons

In recent years, ICHEC has become operationally inept and developed a cold uneasy/paranoid working environment. Rude, confrontational and sometimes threatening management style in Operations. Exclusively male management and poor gender diversity as a whole. It lacks integrity and has completely lost its original culture and values. If any, it is a slow, difficult and unsupported process for career progression and I have only witnessed men progress. Empty contractual promises for recruitment and vulnerability in employment, job insecurity at all times.
