Pros

Great work-life balance. Generous annual leave. Usual company rewards retailer benefits. Approachable company culture. Progression is more defined than negotiable which may suit some.

Cons

Less ambitious tech stack and demands, this is reflected in the pay. Progression may feel slow even when you excel at role. No immediate opportunities to seek different roles within the company.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review – its always nice to hear from people who have enjoyed their time at Jisc. We are working hard to provide our people with more opportunity to mix with each other and share ideas. Things like our annual company conferences will help with these. I appreciate we don’t always pay the highest salaries, but we have some great benefits that we’re really proud of such as our pension scheme, Christmas closure in addition to holidays, flexible working and employee discount schemes.
