Pluspunten

Some great people and a nice office.

Minpunten

Huge disconnect from CEO to Senior management down to shop floor. Poorly executed rounds of redundancies across the business in the past year or so has led to much discontent and morale being the lowest I've seen it in my x number of years here. We used to have a clear and challenging but achievable vision with our previous CEO but not now. The business feels directionless & more of a political stepping stone that a genuine opportunity to help the students we serve.

Thank you for sharing such honest feedback and for your long-standing commitment to UCAS. We’re sorry to hear your concerns about morale and clarity of direction. We know the past year has brought significant change, and we’re committed to making our strategic priorities clearer. We’ve been working with line managers to explain our strategy more effectively, and recent engagement survey scores were strong in this area, but we know there’s always more to do. If this still feels unclear, please do reach out to us at careers@ucas.ac.uk – we’d really value your thoughts. Elaine Chandler, Chief People Officer

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We would be interested to know what team you’re in as UCAS is a UK-based company and we do not have employees outside of the UK. We have a flexible working policy which means we have part time and full-time roles, and we also use .NET, rather than net core as it is old technology. We also benchmark against the UK market, ensuring we remain competitive and transparent. Our other generous benefits such as 30 days holidays (plus 3 days concessionary at Christmas), and 35-hour work weeks are also part of our total reward. If you do have any further thoughts please let us know at careers@ucas.ac.uk. Elaine Chandler, Chief People Officer

Pluspunten

Beautiful building for a not for profit

Minpunten

No real sense of direction or accountability. Arguably it should be merged as overheads too high for the benefit. Good employer for the area though.
