Northwestern University reviews

The longer you work here, the harder it is to get fired. The tuition reimbursement is really good for your children. This is most beneficial if you are faculty, since you are probably done with pursuing higher education. The work life balance is fair. If you have a decent supervisor, they will usually give you the time off that is needed. If you are a salaried employee, you get tons of sick days. I believe it's over 100 a year. These days will of course correspond to your short and long term disability. You must pay a monthly fee for these benefits, but it is quite small.

unlimited resources - academic contacts, worldclass libraries, great discount on courses (75% off graduate courses, 85% for undergraduate), evanston is also a beautiful campus, right on the lake. it all depends who you work for and who you work with, as the northwestern community is really divided - there's a lot of really exciting work going on that is often really fragmented - competition between departments and offices is common, so coordination is often a problem. there are some ego issues. if you're dealing with students, most of them are really bright and interesting, but can often be demanding and bratty as well.
