Vantaggi

The wider staff are mostly very accepting, genuine, and nice people. Intresting work with some scope to focus on areas of personal passion. It seems like they are quite supportive of staff with disabilities / long-term medical conditions.

Svantaggi

Despite significant outrage from staff, upper management has chosen to platform a transphobe; I don't believe that most of them are actively transphobic, but they have shown themselves to be spineless and unwilling to stand up for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. The rhetoric used by the company to justify discriminating against trans employees could also easily be applied to those who are gay, lesbian, and bisexual; indeed it has been, and continues to be, used to justify discrimination against us in the wider world. Low salary and poor pay progression. Increasing staff turnover.

Thank you for your review. At Diamond we value the diversity of our workforce highly, and we have several Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) focussed working groups, which employees are encouraged to participate in. These groups demonstrate the importance that we place on supporting and celebrating the diversity of our staff and their views. We also have a consultative framework to listen to and consult with staff on EDI and employee wellbeing issues, and there is a lot of information available on our intranet about our support for our diverse workforce. Recently our EDI Strategy has been updated, which operates to ensure we have a working environment which allows our people to thrive and contribute their best efforts. We also actively encourage recruitment of underrepresented groups, and we deliver training in support of this. We have and will continue to address the concerns raised and take action to meet the needs of our staff as appropriate.

Vantaggi

There is the opportunity to work with brilliant people from many different backgrounds and with many different areas of expertise, all of whom are hugely enthusiastic about their work. There are many interesting challenges to work and a fair degree of freedom to work on different things. There is opportunity for public engagement, plenty of training opportunities and great facilities for scientific research.

Svantaggi

There is a lack of leadership from management at all levels due to the frustrations between different goals within the company - are we primarily a service for users or a scientific research establishment? As a result management decisions are not always clear or well communicated.
