Mechatronics Design Engineer in Harwell, Oxfordshire

It's a sad place to be

Gov are happy to provide lots of money for capital projects but no money for pay and so everyone is leaving.Trying to spend capital budget without competent colleagues is really draining, so the decline continues.

Senior Scientist in Harwell, Oxfordshire

on 16 February 2023

Don't bother

Underpaid, overworked, highly bureaucratic, no pay progression, limited career development. Old school mentality. There are pros, but they are outweighed by the negatives.

Administrator in Edinburgh

on 26 July 2022

Good work/life balance

Generous annual leave/public holiday days, lots of support for mental health & job security, especially throughout the pandemic. Not much of a chance for progression unless you work in the scientific field.
