Friendly people, clean workplace. Good place for easy work

Cons

Same role for years and no progress, bad place for junior staff as no training and low pay. Leadership not interested in staff feedback.

Thank you sharing your concerns with us. We do take staff feedback very seriously and have recently conducted an all-staff survey to obtain a comprehensive understanding of staff views, which is in addition to our ongoing staff forums where staff can share concerns directly with our senior team (anonymously if they wish). The impacts of COVID in 2020 did mean that some programs needed to be put on hold, including our training program, however this will be back on for this year. Our formal professional development is available for permanent staff - perhaps you have been a casual with us? It is very unusual for permanent staff not to be promoted at ORIMA for the duration you stipulated. We do hope you raise your concerns about career progression with your manager so we can get you back on track.

Pros

Staff are all focussed on high performance, collaboration and supporting each other given the very fast pace. Incredibly important and high profile projects and every team member can have a direct impact on outcomes. Staff grow very quickly.

Cons

As with all consulting, this is not a 9-5 job. Long hours at times.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review. Our Research Assistants are a crucial part of our research teams and we are so glad you are having a good experience. Occasional long hours are part of being a consultant (in every sector) and we appreciate the dedication of our staff in working to achieve excellent outcomes for our clients. We look forward to watching you and our other young researchers grow and thrive.
