Pros

Job security. If you have the personality to detach yourself from your work and if you don't care about your performance then this is the place for you !.

Cons

Low salary (less than a post-doc!), with no hope of monetary increments for your hard work or overtime you do. This is not the place for people who are self-motivated, driven and determined because such efforts are not recognised. Though, according to the contract, the working hrs is ~37, it is impossible to conduct tasks in this time-frame. As such you end up working much more. A lot is asked of you, in order to be promoted for which you have to work extra and do various other projects. This place is good for 1-2 yrs but would be quite demoralising and demotivating beyond this.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
