Excellent training and job development, beautiful environment too! (University of Cambridge in general)
Member Name: pinkshopper
Advantages: Plenty of other opportunities to further develop career, excellent benefits Disadvantages: a little too formal for some?! I am writing this from an entirely different angle as I happened to work for the University which probably have different views from some the previous reviews. Having come from working in a completely different sector, I am fortunate enough to get a job with the university due to my relocation. Although the post is more of a junior position, I still have to go through a lengthy interview process and sitting in front of a panel of 3 is quite nerve wrecking and unexpected. I have research a lot prior to my interview as this is somewhere I really would like to work for and I am impressed by how organised it is considering the governing system is a rather complex one compare to other universities. Being one of the top univerisities in the world, the staff no doubt take there role very seriously and I have learnt to be very careful even little mistakes are immediately picked on. It gives you a feeling of going back to school as offices are generally in a very formal hall or building. Staff development are plenty, with many one day courses or presentation to attend throughout the year and because of the diversity that each department or even the colleges offer, internal job transfer is common and the benefits e.g. Pension and holidays are probably one of the best I have come across especially in this worrying times, working for a great education sector is probably a very good bet. Summary: A great employee especially under these climate |
