Pros

The staff is friendly considering it's a large mix of students and senior staffers. Since this is an academic facility, they are flexible about schedule.

Cons

Seems to have more bureaucracy than necessary, even though people are mainly dealing with academic issues. Tremendous red tape and little recognition for many things you do since there are literally hundreds of other departments in the school

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 people in the trenches The students The passionate faculty

Cons

Leadership, their inefficiencies and poor decisions Very dysfunctional environment HR does whatever leadership tells them to do, including covering issues by "friends of the boss", This favoritism approach also includes approvals for who gets to work from out of state even when the position can be easily filled by local workers and the creation of new jobs for those that are chosen. Very poor financial decisions. Big big pay on top, Low pay on bottom. Very little room for growth unless someone likes you and you are the right color.
