Pros

A great way to meet a lots of very kind, curious and intelligent people. Many of the schools and departments are very diverse and have open, exciting, and greatly productive, nurturing cultures (be careful though some are not, see cons). Open information departments such as the vollum make me excited for humanity's future. Much of this business gives me hope and pride in the people I have worked with and their commitment to the well being of not just our state but of the world at large.

Cons

A company continually undercutting its employee's pay, retirement and benefits for greater profit, not what I'd like to see in a non-profit. Fractured schools and departments, many of which are very diverse and have open, exciting, and greatly productive, nurturing cultures others of which are the opposite and verge on or have outright displayed age and racial preference and sexism, bullying and poor management practices.

When you get settled in the right department they will fight for you. Good benefits, decent pay, lots of unionization.

Upward growth is really slow

Pros

Outstanding mission-driven organization with exceptionally talented, collaborative colleagues. I had the opportunity to work on cutting-edge ophthalmology clinical trials with multidisciplinary teams who genuinely cared about advancing patient care. The work was intellectually stimulating, there were many opportunities to learn, and I appreciated the culture of scientific curiosity and collaboration within the Casey Eye Institute.

Cons

Like many academic medical centers, organizational priorities can shift quickly with changes in funding. Decision-making can be slow, communication during organizational changes could be improved, and career advancement opportunities may be limited outside of traditional academic pathways. Funding uncertainty can affect long-term job stability for research staff.
