Pros

Beautiful campus and great wineries around the region. Daily shuttle bus to/from NYC if you want to visit the big city. Work hours tend to be very regular and management is open to flex time for salaried employees. Great skiing within 1-hour drive.

Cons

Area tends to be overcast and 'grey' most of the year. Cold weather and snow. Campus has significant parking problems and you have to pay a premium for preferred parking -- or park in the free commuter parking lot and ride the shuttle bus.

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.
