    Less than 1 year in the role, current employee
    Severely understaff and poor management
    The good thingsAbove average salary although it is not enough to compensate for the heavy burden of workload and accountability that is being put on the executive level staff
    The challengesSeverely understaff and no proper task delegation, one unit handling every administrative matters for the university, which leads to overburden of workloads on non-managerial level staff

    3 to 4 years in the role, current employee
    Fun and challenging at the same time
    The good things- Students are mostly bright and talented, they are a joy to work with. - Staff (academic and professional) from the UK are easy to get along with - Small community - You learn new things and multitask as you take on jobs out of your job description; it just makes your portfolio more interesting
    The challenges- Management - No culture of developing in-house talent; organisation keeps hiring new people but does not have a plan of nurturing talent and keeping the good ones. - Working environment, facilities isn't something you'd expect from a prestigious university; it's small and food can be a challenge but if you don't mind driving it should be okay
