Nice people, not helpful when you want to proceed with your career - Graduate Research Assistant Michigan State University Employee Review

Very nice university with strong research programs

Convoluted politics and some bureaucratic hurdles to overcome

The HPC facilities (HPCC, ICER) offer excellent access for research affiliates colpaborating with university researchers, with Slurm job scheduling and a well-managed site-specific wiki.

Annual account renewal can be a bit bureacratically clunky at times, and the Research Affiliate may have to coordinate with multiple departments and the associated PI if a system update breaks part of a legacy system.
