Pros
Research salaries are fairly well paid and pay scale is transparent
Cons
When I moved to Moorfields I had heard bad things but thought I should not judge by other people's experiences and make my own mind up. However these negative reviews were true. Toxic work environment, clichey management, people talk behind each others back, they don't respect working hours, management have little oversight over what goes on day to day, no training when I first joined (make mistakes and learn as you go was the norm). If you bring ideas to the table they are not welcomed, a-lot of push back from management who are reluctant to change and waste time on irrelevant tasks rather than looking at how they can improve efficiency. Managers don't care about you and your development unless you are there friend. The annual PDR is pointless management do nothing to enhance your skills or take on training courses. Staff who have been there for years get away with doing nothing and there is no repercussions. Unfortunately the people who try to encourage change are pushed out by people's negative attitudes and lack of effort. If you want an environment where you can develop, meet genuine people and excel in your career then avoid Moorfields.
