Pros

Georgetown is a great environment to be in. The school's values are well-communicated and manifest in how people do their work. It is energizing to be around intelligent students, world class faculty and dedicated staff members. There are lots of events that you can attend -- Presidents and world leaders who come to speak, basketball games, cultural performances. Also - tuition benefits are amazing.

Cons

The efforts to support growth and development differ entirely by team. There have been some efforts at the university to support growth -- notably manager trainings through HR, skills training at the library, the Georgetown Women's Alliance -- but you have to find these opportunities and take advantage on your own. As is most academic institutions, staff are in support of faculty and students, which can make you feel like you're playing second fiddle.

Pros

The professors in the Math department are very nice. The co-workers are very kind to help. It really has a research atmosphere there. You always can get respectful over there.

Cons

The pay is on average. The lab is too small. And too many student occupied the seat in the lab. It is a small building compare to other buildings. But it is very closed to the cafeteria.
