good - Account Executive MD Anderson Cancer Center Employee Review

Welcoming and informative team members.

Must take more time to ensure everyone is celebrated for their contributions to the group.

Its mission to cure cancer is great. The research in some labs is groundbreaking.

There are hand few departments that do weird hiring of people of a specific demographic only (not mentioning which). Most PI s are of that said demographic. And some labs on this department don’t hire people within the US who are truly deserving just because they must hire people from that said demographic from that country. The Chair and Professors openly communicate in non English. So for any other demographic it is hard to secure employment, hard to understand what is being said. One PI forces their ethnic culture on lab members and can ruin your life if you don’t play along. Very little time is spent by some Professors doing research. They mostly write grants and create some preliminary results for a work to write more grants. Even in funding shortage times a lot of research allocated money is spent by some PIs to unnecessarily travel to international conferences frequently making it paid vacations which ideally are suposed academic endeavors. Oncologists have less attitude than the dry lab scientists often.
