Northeastern University reviews

New employees to the university enter highly motivated to assist students. Weathered employees tend to count the days until their retirement. The University has dramatically changed over the past 10 years (physically and ideologically). Many weathered employees (those who have worked for 3+ years) tend to resist change and fight new ideas. Movement up the ladder is not easy. Often you need to get the attention of senior management to be considered for a higher position, whether you are qualified or not. Although administrators try to assist students in their needs, administrators tend to give the "NU Shuffle" to other employees sending them on a goose chase to find the answers. Overall, it is a very administrative bureaucracy.

Almost no opportunity for upward advancement. Even as someone who has worked here for 4 years, it's almost impossible to get an interview internally for another department. Parking is limited and expensive it's almost always easier to take public transit. All about the bottom line, upper management often could care less about students.
