Columbia University reviews

The Internal Audit department was one of the most disappointing work environments I have experienced. Columbia promotes a culture of collaboration, trust, and support, but that was not reflected in my experience. Leadership micromanaged employees to an excessive degree, especially on work-from-home days. If you stepped away from your computer for a few minutes, it felt like you had to justify your whereabouts. Rather than encouraging employees to learn and grow, management often made people feel foolish for asking questions or not knowing something immediately. The atmosphere was stressful, morale was low, and trust between leadership and staff was virtually nonexistent. I would not recommend this department to anyone seeking a supportive or professional work environment.

Ever since 2024, the University leadership is absolute, performative trash. They always talk about social justice and equal rights--how they are fighting for the right causes--when all they care about is $$$ that never goes to the employees. Horrible, unlivable salary and when you ask for better compensation, HR gaslights and smirks at you. Also, no room for career growth or promotions.
