Pros

Really inspiring leaders (many of whom have left) Great colleagues, friendly and committed Enthusiastic about EDI Good pay Beautiful location Fantastic schools and students

Cons

Lots of people I worked with and admired have left. Some were senior leaders. I felt there was not much more for me to learn from. So many people leaving also left many staff unsettled and mistrusting Engineering UK. I think addressing why so many people are leaving (some without any notice) is important. Being a small charity there isn't much room for progression and many funding streams are reducing so staff who are more junior struggle to be promoted and have opportunities to grow.

Pros

- interesting work, making a difference to young people - opportunities to develop personally and professionally - friendly, sociable and collaborative environment

Cons

- fast paced, can feel like there's little time to reflect - some roles split across teams, meaning there's a constant need to juggle priorities and workload - organisation engages the breadth of engineering which means at times working with ethically dubious sectors like weapons manufacturing
