      Pros

      The work eventually gets done but it is completed in ways that are tedious, time-consuming, non-transparent and full of inefficiencies. Even the hiring and on-boarding processes had clear signs of how time-wasting and ultimately low-delivering this office can be. And so much of the work that does get completed here never goes anywhere, true wasted effort. Many fundraising offices struggle with inefficiencies but they work to both identify those inefficiencies and then improve them - this office is really mired down in a culture of not changing.

      Cons

      General examples of problems that leadership ignores: staff who all use database software differently which creates a mess of meaningless data and an abundant use of spreadsheets that have to be manually consolidated and updated, admins and senior staff who cannot effectively use outlook, and early to mid-career staff who are sadly in the woods about most of what one would find in an up to date fundraising office today. It is difficult to get an advanced understanding of what it is like here before you are in the job. Listen to your gut, pay attention to oddities in the recruiting and interview processes, and do not go here.

      Pros

      It's a great place depending on which lab you're working in.

      Cons

      Labs at Rockefeller rarely overlap in expertise but there are many other labs at nearby institutions to get collaborative help from.
