Pros

People are helpful and kind, good initiatives, especially around DEI, hubs across the country and flexible working.

Cons

Poor middle management - lack of ability to change, bit of a graveyard for middle aged white men who want to just coast along. Lack of accountability. Pay is below industry standard. Lack of focus on what is being done and no courage to do better.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review – its always nice to hear from people who have enjoyed their time at Jisc. We are working hard to provide our people with more opportunity to mix with each other and share ideas. Things like our annual company conferences will help with these. I appreciate we don’t always pay the highest salaries, but we have some great benefits that we’re really proud of such as our pension scheme, Christmas closure in addition to holidays, flexible working and employee discount schemes.
