Pros

Benefits are okay, take advantage of free course credits!!

Cons

Hit an miss, there are some terrible managers in this organization and toxic work environments are often left unchecked. Please vet who you’ll be working for and what they’ve promised you before accepting anything!!! This place can be great and it can be absolutely horrible. Just depends who you work for. That these I consistencies exist is a big red flag on HR and the Ombuds office. In short, CU as a workplace is nothing like CU as a university presents itself. I came in a student, bamboozled by the high standards, only to be crushed by the horrendous conditions “behind the curtain.” If you expect Ivy-league standards, please expect to be sorely disappointed!

Pros

If you a PhD student, you never have to worry about money or funding. Professors have a lot of funding for different research projects.

Cons

The EE department/professors are not very supportive of the PhD students. Most of them are not typically patient with students if they are taking their time with projects. They replace them with new students.
