Pros

The university itself is a wonderful environment to be in. The lab I work at is filled with highly intelligent and approachable academics doing some highly interesting and cutting-edge work which has allowed me to prosper. IT department is always easily contactable and helpful. Lab is stocked with sophisticated equipment.

Cons

Administration issues can be one of the most highly frustrating parts of this university. Luckily we have a receptionist who can organise and sort out most issues for us. Their workday pay system is great when it works but is hard to sort out if you have any issues due to the convoluted and clunky ticket system.

Pros

Beautiful grounds, those colleagues who were experiencing the negatives of working there banded together

Cons

Bullying and gaslighting go to the top, bullies 'failing up' is common practice, formal complaints with considerable concrete evidence are drawn out and addressed in a manner to encourage resignations. Other staff are scared to stand up for fear of being next. If the complainant doesn't resign the narrative is changed to suggest the complainant has mental health issues, not that there is a serious issue with many of the people and the culture of the university. Toxic, and I hope for the sake of the institution and students it can be addressed.
