Vantaggi

It was an exciting place to work at up until Covid. Remote/hybrid work-life balance isn't bad either. (as a comment, this page lists Nigel as the Director, but hasn't had that title since 2021 I believe. Even Lia came and went)

Svantaggi

I don't need to get into the problems with upper management. You can read that for yourself here. To add, there's WAY too much middle management. Often times, entry level folks are promoted to management who aren't qualified. And this middle management layer isn't even needed to begin with.

Vantaggi

It is a place with strong potential, good technical infrastructure, and a beautiful natural setting. It offers a diverse mix of people and professions, and it typically provides more stability and flexibility than industry, along with a fair salary.

Svantaggi

Professionals outside the physics discipline are often not given full recognition as subject-matter experts in their own fields and are frequently overridden by individuals in senior or privileged positions. In many cases, decisions are driven more by influence, convenience, or personal preference than by operational needs or technical best practices. As a result, non-physicist professionals may be relegated to routine or less desirable tasks, while higher-visibility projects and decision-making responsibilities are concentrated elsewhere. Basicaly non-physicist professionals are hired to support or maintain systems that were implemented without sufficient planning or domain expertise, leaving significant room for improvement. This dynamic can lead to underutilization of specialized talent, reduced efficiency, operational challenges, frustration among staff, and, over time, burnout. Definitively not a good place to work for non-physicist professionals. NOTE: The actual CEO is Norbert Holtkamp
