Current Employee – been working at University of Nottingham full-time for more than 10 years

Prosinternational workplace, diversity in people.

Consno major drawbacks except very poor planning in providing facilities to staff and students in car parking.

Advice to Senior ManagementSenior/Top mgmt needs to make time and effort to solicit feedback from all staff directly and not via middle management to collect and compile. Trim down the bureaucracy, too many directors and deputy directors for academics and held by the same people.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Nottingham, England (UK)

Current Employee – been working at University of Nottingham full-time for more than 8 years

ProsCareer structure, personal development, work-life balance

ConsDifficult to move up the career structure; they like to shove your pay up the scale to the top, and then leave it there so you don't receive any increase year-on-year afterwards; often afraid to shed the deadwood and keeps people who shouldn't really be in a job.

Advice to Senior ManagementBe realistic; don't be so politically correct.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
