Great place to work

Pros

Great benefits for earlier hires, nice work environment, beautiful campus, high salaries. The co-workers were also great, but it, of course, varies by department.

Cons

The benefits were reduced for new hires in the last few years (although still good). I heard complaints about parking although I never ran into this problem since I lived within walking distance to my work. Few advancement opportunities for those at the top of the clerical and technical category.

Pros

Yale is the perfect place to start a scientific career. I had access to amazing mentors, and amazing resources: free shuttles, an incredible library, beautiful architecture, a fully outfitted makerspace/engineering lab, the list could go on forever.

Cons

It is my understanding that the compensation is less than at many other RA jobs, but then again so is the cost of living here in New Haven. Yale is just perpetuating the trend: pay academics as little as possible.

Pros

I've receive promotions. Benefits are superb. The people are awesome, because you are interacting with people from all around the world.

Cons

The challenges would be the injuries that occurred at Yale, which could have been prevented, which cause me to have to leave my last position. These injuries occurred because of the errors of others.
