      Pros

      Ohio State offers the best of the traditional Research I University - Midwestern culture, consistent focus on academic excellence. The compensation when compared to peer institutions (Big 10 schools) is quite reasonable. Treatment of graduate students varies greatly by department, but I have found that the University as a whole provides numerous opportunities for graduate students to prepare themselves for future research careers.

      Cons

      As with any public university, the pressure of the state and federal budget on the institution is continual. There is significant concern that salaries for faculty and graduate student stipends will not be competitive with private institutions and industry.

      Ohio State is a good academic institution, and overall it is a good place to work.

      Pros

      Ohio State University has outstanding facilities and for the most part excellent faculty. With its midwest location, Ohio State employees enjoy a relatively low cost of living with a stable housing market. Ohio State is a nationally recognized employer/university. Overall, Ohio State University is a great place to work. No place is perfect, but I'd rank Ohio State as one of the better places I've worked.

      Cons

      As with any large university or business, there is too much bureaucracy at Ohio State University. Another weakness, at the college level, is poor communications from leadership. Also there is currently a funding crisis in academia under the current U.S. Governement Administration (i.e., Bush).
