Good work experience

Pros

Diverse, bright faculty and employee community. It is an ambitious, motivating environment to work within. Retirement and insurance benefits were good.

Cons

HR processes are sometimes painfully slow and not as efficient as one might expect. Sometimes, departments seem more divided into individual teams and less unified than one might hope. This likely varies greatly depending on the available funding and leadership of the department (particularly for research).

Pros

The pay is great, the community is healthy, and the University truly cares about it's employees. President Salovey will make it an even better university.

Cons

Very bureaucratic, every manager has to ask their manager before anything can get done.

Pros

Yale University was a great organization to work for. Everyone is very mission driven. There was a lot of work-life balance, and the benefits were amazing!

Cons

There were a lot of politics. There was not a lot of upward mobility, I had to hope someone would leave or retire in order to be advanced.
