      Good community with lots of flexibility in research

      Research assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great colleagues that are always willing to help out and provide advice. Freedom to pursue own research interests (if adviser lets you) Lots of resources when needed, never felt constraint by lack of resources

      Cons

      Hours can be long and unpredictable. Actual situation very dependent on research advisers. Some infrastructure (office and lab-space out-dated).

      Great people & facilities

      Senior systems administrator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The culture of curiosity and investigation. Good health coverage with convenient on campus facilities. Relatively generous vacation and personal day policies. Wide availibility of technical and social activities.

      Cons

      Annual compensation increases tend not to keep up with inflation. Although the policies are fairly generous and most peer and supervisior interations are positive, human resources as a department if fairly obstructionist if issues do come up between emplyees and supervisor and more interested in problem issolation than resolution. (pick your supervisor and peers well in your interview ). Also while equipment and physical resources are easy to aquire expanding personel (even if demonstrably cheaper than adding equipment and external contrats) can be difficult whech results in cronic (though not generally severe) understaffing.
