Pros

Benefits were top notch. I had a fantastic boss at the Mailman School of Public Health. I enjoyed working with people around the school and being around so many great minds.

Cons

Out of control bureaucracy, it took FOREVER to get anything done. Plus, when you went to Finance for help, there are so many rules they would call you back at least half a dozen times on each project, " Oh, and we didn't know this, but you're going to need this as well." Pure madness to accomplish anything.

Pros

My job with the Columbia Population Research Center is fully remote, which is a great perk. I can also create my own schedule and work any day of the week.

Cons

The pay could be better.

Pros

The work when I had it was amazing, I really appreciated it for what it gave me.

Cons

Unfortunately, with the change in management came zero transparency and rules for thee, not for me. It's led to really weird decisions.
