Was good, now it's awful. - Postdoctoral Research Scientist Rothamsted Research Employee Review

Pros

Great facilities, you can go from bench to field here.

Cons

Absolutely awful staff morale for 3+ years now. Redundancies keep happening, no forward movement despite multiple reviews of the scientific programme. No career progression, below average pay when compared to other institutes and universities. Low numbers of women getting promotions or in higher management (in the science departments). No matter how many hours postdocs slog out, we are never rewarded, or even acknowledged.
