      Nice place to work in the Indiana area

      Graduate research assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Large community of students, professors and researchers from multiple disciplines. The medical insurance coverage is one the best in the area. The programs in engineering are within the top-10 in the country. A large portion of my job can be done from home so I typically don't spend too much time in the lab. Managers are very flexible with respect to work hours as long as publications and experiment deadlines are met.

      Cons

      At times the job can be stressing since we have to meet deadlines with respect to writing articles, submitting grant applications and experimental procedures. However, during the summer the waters are quiet.

      Nice Place but currently has some funding issues

      Graduate student

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good Intellectual Resources: professors, libraries, expertise in the area of chemical engineering Helpful People: On the whole people are willing to take time to talk to you and help you out intellectually if you ask.

      Cons

      Current Funding Issues: The projects I was interested in (using algae for bio fuel production) were having some trouble getting funding and it is hard to get involved with a engineering project if you were not accepted as an engineer due to departmental barriers. Direction Provided: If you want direction you have to ask or provide it yourself.

      Excellent, motivated and well connected faculty members.. Very good and easily available research facilities.. New investments in sport/ leisure activities.. Diverse and Vibrant student community..

      Cons

      West Lafayette is a small town, so not a lot of places to hang out. Convenience stores unavailable!! Not big on entrepreneurship although infrastructure is being put in place.
