Pros

Great benefits - including free tuition. University atmosphere attracts a lot of smart, intellectual people committed to education. Many people stay at Columbia for a long time, as moving between departments is relatively easy. For the most part the University is committed to retaining staff and encouraging professional development, and there are ample opportunities to build skills.

Cons

Bureaucracy. But no different than any other top-tier large research university. Processes are not very efficient and things that shouldn't take a long time take forever. This can be frustrating.

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.
