Good benefits, bad management - Systems Developer/Engineer The Ohio State University Employee Review

Pros

The best part about working for OSU are the benefits, particularly the educational ones. You can often get flex time to take classes.

Cons

As far as a career in IT goes, it is very limited. The raises are miniscule and there is not much room for advancement. OSU tends to be management-heavy. There is a 1:1 director/associate director to developer ratio in my department. Management's philosophy is that "you don't need a technical background to manage technology."
