Pros

Many brilliant and accomplished employees at CUMC involved in cutting edge medicine and science. Benefits and opportunities for professional development were good and many programs seemed very well funded.

Cons

My main concern with CUMC involved the culture and atmosphere. Work environment became quite toxic, and in my opinion, unprofessional behavior from a few bad apples was not appropriately addressed or curtailed by management. Many talented people left as a result. This may not be universal, but was a major issue in my department/division.
