Business Outlook
Pros
Lots of time off (Summer Fridays, 12 stats, 4 weeks vacation). If you get in the right department it is a nice life. Campus is beautiful, right downtown. Students are fun, multi-cultural and this adds a great dimension to the campus. Lots of your peers are great people.
Cons
Too many layers, HR department is not qualified as they are simply people who have been at McGill a long time and worked their way up. Too many departments/faculties are chaired by academics who have no idea of how to "run a business" or manage people. Faculty usually live in their research world.
