Pros
Good benefits. Opportunities to get involved and give back to the community. Staff affinity groups for women, ethnic minorities, and LGBT.
Cons
The experience of working at Yale depends on the specific department. Even HR is decentralized. Do your research. Look online for old news stories or lawsuits in that dept. Look for signs of high turnover versus long-term employees. Speak to people who used to hold that position. Departments like the Library, Yale Press, Graduate School, and some academic departments, have earned reputations for interpersonal conflict. Many of the individual graduate and professional schools have reputations for happy staffers.
