Work-life balance. Continuous learning. Great colleagues and office.
Pros
My experience working at Lhasa has been very positive overall. My favourite thing is the work-life balance one can have thanks to the flexible working pattern and being able to work from home whenever suits me best. We get 34 days of holidays plus bank holidays. It is also posible to work overseas (for a period of time and with previous approval). Though my job might be time critical at times, in general, the activities are challenging enough without becoming too stressful, whilst also allowing me to continue learning and developing my technical skills. Working on scientific software brings interesting and exciting problems to solve. There is also good support to go to conferences and do training. Moreover, it is good to know that my job has a positive impact in the real world (e.g. reduce animal testing). We have a positive and inclusive working environment, I really enjoy coming to the office, we have great facilities - a fully equiped kitchen, healthy snacks, a gym! On top of this, people at Lhasa are one of the smartest and kindest people I have ever worked with. Last but not least, we also have frequent social activities, these include table tennis tournament, bake sales, yoga, meditation, zumba, summer parties, well-being awareness events, fitness challenges, amongst others!
Cons
Sometimes the decisions made by senior management can feel a bit abrupt in the way they are communicated.
