A great place for tech-minded people - Postdoctoral Fellow Caltech (California) Employee Review

Great environment, lots of interesting talks going on every day

Lack of dining options, society too small

Experience depends on Department and Professor. HSS is supportive of their employees, some great admins. Career development programs and other educational opportunities. Lots of brilliant researchers. Grad student and postdoc union.

The university is no longer supportive of HSS. Salary is typical for this position, which is bad. Departments are somewhat siloed, not so much collaboration. Federal funding cuts are having bad effects on operations and research.
