Amazing Benefits. Beautiful Campus.

Administrative assistant/office manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Best benefits I've ever had. Decent pay. Very nice people who care about what they do. Beautiful campus.

Cons

Too much work for the small number of people in our department. My boss never goes home and is always super stressed and overwhelmed. It's hard to see any career path forward. Technology issues are very frustrating and troubleshooting them takes up too much valuable time.

Great environment with many perks and benefits. Great helalthcare, very good housing, great salary compared to other institutions. Amazing scientific inputs with lots of seminars and always great lectures from invited guest.

Depending on PI can be a very competitive environment with also poor mentorship. Postdoctoral duration in time usually extended here as high impact publications are a must have (can be a pros) . Not very collaborative place.
