Decent work place
Research Associate (Current Employee) - Cambridge - 28 June 2018
Decent work place that doesn't make you require that you do 9-5 everyday day. However late nights and weekend work are expected with no overtime or extra pay.
Pros
health and travel help
Cons
long hours, bad organisation

This is daft
Research Associate (Current Employee) - Zoology - 12 May 2017
I work in one small group - I have no idea about the rest of the University.
But in my situation, I had a person disaster and my boss was just ruthless about time and money. Wouldn't give an inch.

great academic environment
Post-Doctoral Research Associate (Former Employee) - Cambridge, ENG - 16 September 2015
good academic environment. Career progression is difficult due to competitive funding. hence contracts are mostly temporary which creates job insecurity.
