Pros

Good pay and many benefits options to consider

Cons

The culture has always been cover your own butt. Nepotism is RAMPANT. Nepotism is in your face and obvious. Yes you may be recognized for the quality of your work. But certainly you will get hired or promoted based on who you know. The majority managers here care for more about their own careers than the well being of their staff. The culture is not about family or team -it's be out for yourself. Corruption and harrassment are hidden. UCLA is superficial and has toxic people. It has improved in the last 10 years, but it still has miles to improve. UCLA is agist and cares more about systems than people. Parking is absurdly expensive. Pay may be good, with good benefits options, but it all adds up to reduce paychecks significantly. Many jobs are dead end and career growth can take decades, again based on who you know.
