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.

Pros

-helping students -talking about music

Cons

-forced to train the ai bot that will replace you -despite being the top performer on your team and being reassured repeatedly your job is secure, you will get laid off with no explanation or respect -c suite prefers to keep their 500k+ salaries and 80k+ bonuses even if it means laying off 80+ employees who only make 55k -CEO led first layoffs in berklee's entire history, no transparency with any managers, no discussion or anything -CEO used money "saved" from layoffs to give other employees bonuses and buy unnecessary property
