Pros

- Large organization; many different opportunities in research and IT - opportunities to learn and expand your knowledge - access to state-of-the art fitrec (BU's gym)

Cons

- different culture depending on which department you work in - pay attention in the interview as to what kind of culture the department has. Ask yourself: do I feel that I could fit in with this group of people?

Pros

Great benefits! Lots of sick time holidays off. and summers are very laid back. Wish I could have stayed longer as I saw my time there as a great career opportunity. But toxicity, harassment and layoffs made me rethink staying

Cons

Management is incredibly toxic. Even after union grievances, sexual harassment claims and even a warning from the dean, managers continue to abuse staff. Incredibly sad seeing as Boston University rather lay off good employees than hold anyone from management accountable for their actions.
