    Employee at University Of Cambridge, October 2022

  • Best thing

    Lovely building. Many FOS staff are highly capable and very kind. Some secondments but highly competitive and few and far between

    Worst thing

    Little respect from senior staff or academic staff. Very feudal style intellectual hierarchy. Little interest in understanding the potential of staff members to contribute and increase offer. Many staff members have degrees, masters or even PHDs but are treated as though they have little to contribute. Nepotism and poor handling of internal conflict. Willful ignorance of low morale
