Not many benefits and career opportunities for technology & IT

The university offers a lot of opportunities that make the student experience very memorable, such as career treks, mock interviews, career fairs, and different engagement events and workshops.

Overall, the employee experience was challenging. The institution faced significant financial difficulties during my tenure, including recurring layoffs and no salary increases over a two-year period, which contributed to ongoing uncertainty and low morale. Leadership and communication were problematic particularly within my team. High turnover, limited transparency around staffing and role changes, workplace gossip, and unprofessional interpersonal dynamics. When a team loses more than 50% of its staff within a two-year span, it suggests deeper cultural and management issues that warrant attention. The physical work environment also presented challenges. Persistent heating and cooling problems resulted in office temperatures fluctuating dramatically from uncomfortably hot to excessively cold temperatures with little consistency from day to day. Lastly, compensation was a frequent concern among employees. Many staff members worked second jobs or actively sought opportunities elsewhere due to salaries that were not competitive with the market.
