Advice to Senior Management – none

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Kingston University London full-time for more than a year

Pros – It is easy to travel to and from London. The job as a lecturer is not demanding at all, as far as you are willing to have a publication every now and then and are willing to participate at the endless faculty meetings!

Cons – The administration part of the job is tremendous. The faculty are not very well synchronized in their activities which leads to a chaotic atmosphere where some tasks are done a few times over or not accomplished at all. The communicated and allocation of roles and tasks are weak compared to many other English universities.

Advice to Senior Management – It is necessary for the management to oversee the flow of the information through the system and designate the roles based on the capacity of the staff. The allocation of tasks, the handling of the volume of work, and the timings have to be reviewed and necessary changes should be made in order to facilitate and coordinate the activities of the staff.

Cons – No research facility, no advanced equipment

Advice to Senior Management – Support reserch

Former Employee – worked at Kingston University London

Pros – If you are either a masochist or if you enjoy bullying others, you will love Kingston. If you are looking for a place to disguise your mediocrity as an academic researcher or teacher, this is the place for you!

Cons – Terrible problems with culture of bullying and harassment by managers. Poor record of health and safety violations. Endemic culture of corruption and low achievement standards. Poor support for research initiatives.

Advice to Senior Management – Treat employees with respect and kindness. Fix problems with service quality rather than covering them up. Change culture of cronyism between management and board of governors.
