Pros

Benefits and Salary are good. Programming budgets and travel allowances were nice. Dining facilities were awesome, employees have many places to enjoy for lunch.

Cons

Location and level of unfairness between senior management and other employees. Skills and knowledge are not appreciated, title and where you came from is the value.

Pros

Time off, subsidy for children for college, small grant for childcare, and remote work ability.

Cons

Heavily bureacratic, top-down structure with zero creative ability unless it's around AI. No performance reviews from the bottom-up tell you a lot. Cornell is going through very tough times and employees are overworked, underpaid and have no room to grow or advance and heavy negative sentiment regarding all of the changes happening and further budget cuts. You need to move to another unit and apply to a higher position that way to get any type of promotion, despite your performance, goals and achievements. We get annual SIP that is below inflation and never any performance bonuses.
