Great place to work - benefits include the option to take free classes through the College of General Studies,tuition benefits for your family, great healthcare plan, access to libraries and other facilities, flexible scheduling and association with a prestigious university. The people you work with will generally be very smart and at the top of their field. Columbia is also located in New York City, which is a huge boon.

Pay at an academic institution is generally lower than what you would receive in the private sector.
