Pros

Unique learning opportunities. Make a difference and develop career alongside compassionate colleagues.

Cons

Routinely zero onboarding and a cultural lack of empathy towards newer staff. Experienced multiple instances where middle level managers operated malignantly towards newer&vulnerable staff for months&years without any over-site. There are parallels between the psychological traumas that are treated, and those that are quietly endured by staff.

Pros

There are some opportunities to collaborate with researchers across departments .

Cons

In my experience, the workplace culture and management environment were challenging. Communication could at times feel dismissive, inconsistent, or unnecessarily confrontational, particularly during stressful operational situations. Concerns related to workplace behavior, fairness, and respect were not always handled in a supportive or transparent manner. There also appeared to be uneven treatment between employees, with some staff receiving significantly more support and flexibility than others. For international employees or individuals from different backgrounds, the environment could feel especially difficult to navigate.
