Pros

The Purdue University Lafayette is great. Even a large campus there is better communication than at the Calumet. I worked at the Calumet for more than 1 year and worked at Lafayette for more than 2 years. The SAP system used for accounting is good.

Cons

The lady in charge of accounting does not understand SAP or even accounting for that matter. She believed in punishing people. You were blamed for things without knowing in advance what you were supposed to do. She was always in a meeting but never brought back any information to her ranks.

Pros

Today, Purdue enrolls the second largest student body of any university in Indiana and has one of the largest international student populations of any public university in the United States.

Cons

The Boilermaker men's and women's basketball teams have won more Big Ten Championships than any other conference school, with 27 conference banners, including a league-leading 21 for the men’s team. Purdue men's basketball has an all-time winning record against all Big Ten schools.

Pros

The flexibility of working at a university, allows for individual work life balance, whatever that is. Because of the slow arduos screening and lack of ability to source candidates projects take a long time to complete besides everything else that you need to deal with.

Cons

Slow HR system that isn't up to date and hard to work with
