Transphobic - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Diamond Light Source

Many kind and dedicated coworkers Possibility of working on cutting edge science Interacting with academics from around the world on exciting science challenges

Too many layers of management and too little agency devolved through them Inconsistency in funding new projects - no transparency Repeated insistence on rebuilding wheels in house when solutions exist commercially Management not giving the impression that experimental support, the facility's actual raison d'etre, is a funding priority

There is the opportunity to work with brilliant people from many different backgrounds and with many different areas of expertise, all of whom are hugely enthusiastic about their work. There are many interesting challenges to work and a fair degree of freedom to work on different things. There is opportunity for public engagement, plenty of training opportunities and great facilities for scientific research.

There is a lack of leadership from management at all levels due to the frustrations between different goals within the company - are we primarily a service for users or a scientific research establishment? As a result management decisions are not always clear or well communicated.
