      Pros

      Cornell is full of interesting and smart people. Work is generally challenging and there is adequate recognition for a job well done. The pay and benefits at Cornell are comparable, if not better than the majority of other large employers in the area.

      Cons

      Your experience will most likely depend on your managers and your immediate group of coworkers. It can be very difficult to get hired, but once you are in the door it is much easier to move to different positions or roles within the university. Parking is expensive and often requires a long walk to your office .

      Pros

      Time off, subsidy for children for college, small grant for childcare, and remote work ability.

      Cons

      Heavily bureacratic, top-down structure with zero creative ability unless it's around AI. No performance reviews from the bottom-up tell you a lot. Cornell is going through very tough times and employees are overworked, underpaid and have no room to grow or advance and heavy negative sentiment regarding all of the changes happening and further budget cuts. You need to move to another unit and apply to a higher position that way to get any type of promotion, despite your performance, goals and achievements. We get annual SIP that is below inflation and never any performance bonuses.
