Pros

- World-class community and working environment - Academic freedom - Work/Life balance is very good - Fantastic place to discover different people and cultures - Amazing career opportunities (on-campus / off-campus)

Cons

- I wish the benefits for Part-timers would be little bit more fair. It's little bit costly and that effects your hourly rate. - Compensation could be better compare to other leading institutions.

Aspires to be a great place to work

Pros

There are great people on both faculty and staff, the students are ridiculously talented, and the location can't be beat.

Cons

Work-life balance is abysmal, and there's a feeling that even longtime employees can be easily replaced. Recent high-level administrative hires of people with no knowledge of music have shifted the culture in an unfortunately corporate direction. The place has lost a bit of its soul.
