Market Researcher (Former Employee)
Colchester, England (UK)

I worked at University of Essex as a contractor for less than a year

Pros- university campus environment
- close-knit community
- generous employee packages
- good transport links

Cons- bureaucracy
- many of the workers they are used to working at a public sector pace and therefore it can be hard to get things done quickly
- the university suffers from a lack of communication between departments... and therefore it can be hard to utilise the benefits of so many intelligent individuals in one place.

Advice to Senior Management- create better communication between departments
- encourage cross-department interactions
- weed out the lazy and slow workers.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
