      Great work life balance. Decent pay. Lots of good people. Easy going atmosphere. Great sector to work in. Lovely office. Not big city based. Charitable mission.

      Really unclear strategy and middle management are disconnected

      Thank you for sharing your experience and for highlighting so many positives about working at UCAS, including the friendly and welcoming culture, our office space and flexible working. Since this review, we’ve been working directly with line managers to better explain our strategy, but if you feel there’s more we can do, please reach out via careers@ucas.ac.uk – we’d really value your perspective.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We would be interested to know what team you’re in as UCAS is a UK-based company and we do not have employees outside of the UK. We have a flexible working policy which means we have part time and full-time roles, and we also use .NET, rather than net core as it is old technology. We also benchmark against the UK market, ensuring we remain competitive and transparent. Our other generous benefits such as 30 days holidays (plus 3 days concessionary at Christmas), and 35-hour work weeks are also part of our total reward. If you do have any further thoughts please let us know at careers@ucas.ac.uk. Elaine Chandler, Chief People Officer

      Pros

      Beautiful building for a not for profit

      Cons

      No real sense of direction or accountability. Arguably it should be merged as overheads too high for the benefit. Good employer for the area though.
