Solid job, but slow
|
|
Civil service pension is fantastic.
Good work life balance, with flexible hours etc. Job generally finishes at 5pm, with overtime being virtually non existent.
Most people in the UK offices are nice and easy to work with.
|
Culture of acceptance means rubbish work (and rubbish workers) doesn't get challenged enough.
Change happens at a glacial rate - death by committee is very real and a general aversion to risk means that very little gets done in a timely fashion.
Actual salary is below market rate.
IELTS customer service team and general management is a massive reputational risk to the organisation and the number one source of customer problems, but is not addressed on a structural level.

Great range of really interesting education projects. Education teams so committed and fun to work with.

I left to pursue PhD rather than because of cons.

Nice colleagues but poor company culture
|
|
Passionate people, flexibility, interesting projects, some good leaders in SBUs
|
Management isn't proper, poor performance management, high insecurity and job satisfaction. Lots of cases of burn-out/prolonged sick leave.

They should start listening and taking action. Getting the job done means taking care of your team. The organisation's values shouldn't be on paper only!
