Generally good, sometimes lots more time and work than desired - CS Consultant Cornell University Employee Review

Good Pay, good insurance, lots of networking opportunities

Local cost of living is high, few employers for spouse

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

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.
