Columbia University

Is this your company?

A lot of behind the scene power struggles not visible until you're at the very top. - Director Columbia University Employee Review

Pros

New York City is the most intense place you can find and has everything you can want or need...for a price.

Cons

New York City housing is tremendously expensive on a regular academic salary. If you are recruited without anyone that can stand up for you the first year it will be very hard for you to find your way through the morass of the very red-tape oriented administration.

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.
