Pros
The exposure to novel cutting-edge MHA research and professional connections, and opportunity to learn many skills. The opportunity to work along side a team of highly capable and passionate colleagues and clinicians. There are wonderful people, and the below comments are only in reference to the direct management relevant to this role and no longer apply to upper management (there has been a recent change in leadership).
Cons
There are many reviews that do a phenomenal job in explaining the core issues within the Slaight department. Please take these warning seriously. However, as a large department, the following comments don’t reflect on all research labs, but on the shared experience for those of us in select areas. If you are looking for a temporary position without advancement and are willing to put up with possible psychological abuse, micromanaging, bullying, minimization, and unethical behaviour, then perhaps consider this position. Many of use have been burned deeply by the treatment we received and do not wish that on anyone else that has a passion to contribute to this area of MHA research.
