      Great place to work, as long as you don't work for the Mathematics and Computer Science department.

      Pros

      Emory is a large employer, and it's a very exciting place to be. Most of the departments (other than Math/CS) are managed by people who genuinely care about the educational mission.

      Cons

      The Math and Computer Science department is managed by people who are both incompetent and discriminatory regarding health issues. They outright refused to comply with or even acknowledge the medical conditions of employees, and often seemed to act with a malice towards employees that was sadly reminiscent of scenes in Office Space. Note that the scores here reflect this department; other departments likely deserve higher scores, but the university deserves blame for supporting this behavior.

      One of the largest employers in Atlanta

      Pros

      I am lucky to live nearby. Compensation is pretty good and the faculty/staff (for the most part) are good to work with.

      Cons

      Traffic and the cost of parking. The shuttle services could certainly be improved. It is a very large organization, very easy to get lost and unsure of how you fit in. Why is coffee so expensive? Logic is not something usually practiced here.

      Pros

      Wonderful benefits, work-life balance, many opportunities for professional growth, and a great sense of community among faculty, staff, and students.

      Cons

      Traffic on Clifton Corridor is a nightmare and the organization can be very bureaucratic and siloed at times.
