It is a conscientious employer. It does try to do the right thing in handling of employees and obey all of the laws.

Pros

Columbia is one of the top universities in terms of research. It has good faculty, good benefits, and a less stressful working environment.

Cons

It is not clear how to move up the management path. There is little inter-department interactions. Commute is long. Salary is less than the industry.
