Emory University reviews

Emory is a very political organization. Hirings and promotions are all done behind closed doors and seem to be based only on an individual's relationship to management and not their qualifications or achievements. Job postings are frequently changed to fit the individual's skills and not the skills required for the job. The vast majority of management does not posess a degree, skills, or experience in the industry/field they are in charge of. Most managers produce nothing, and serve only as a distribution point for work. Information is rarely disseminated to employees, if at all. Employee reviews are a whitewash and have no determination on employee raises. Raises are usually quite small, 3% max, and though are said to be based on performance, have no indication of this. Responsibility is also lacking at Emory. Missing deadlines, wiping out an entire month of email are gone unnoticed and without repercussion.

There is some pension to make simple tasks overly bureaucratic and somewhat drawn out. Lots of paperwork for very simple things.
