Columbia University reviews

Hiring process takes forever, admin is generally unhelpful and disorganized, overall the institution tends to hinder us instead of effectively facilitating our research. If you're working in research, there typically isn't much room to move up the ladder without getting a doctorate, and there can be a really weird hierarchy in research

It's a very traditional, old-school environment that does not treat or value lower or mid-level employees. Not progressive and stifling of anything new or innovative. They have poor management with no clear career growth opportunities; they offer below-market pay, despite having enormous resources and money. They have very opaque processes for promotions and salary increases, despite positive performance evaluations, and have a lot of practices in place that discourage DEIA work and hiring of diverse talent. Would not recommend working here
