Columbia University

Is this your company?

Great place for intellectual stimulation, but has a long way to go for treatment of postdoctoral level scientists. - Postdoctoral Research Scientist Columbia University Employee Review

Pros

It's prestigious and the name will carry you far. Also, there are many intelligent people who will stimulate interesting discussions.

Cons

Things are terribly disorganized and everything takes incredibly long. I just received a reimbursement for a work-related trip that was completed three months ago. Payments are often delayed due to general disorganization and mishaps. Postdocs get awful treatment because we have absolutely no benefit except for health care. I have no retirement funds, no dental or vision care. There are absolutely no perks with this job.

Pros

The work when I had it was amazing, I really appreciated it for what it gave me.

Cons

Unfortunately, with the change in management came zero transparency and rules for thee, not for me. It's led to really weird decisions.
