Wonderful place to work

Pros

Terrific leadership, intellectually stimulating environment, ample resources, beautiful setting, runs like a well-oiled machine - with lovely facilities, overall very positive environment with highly competent and respectful staff, lots of programs to encourage overall staff well-being, great benefits overall.

Cons

Staff are second-class citizens (compared to faculty, students and postdocs). Compensation is good upon entry, but there are systems in place that make it hard to get a decent raise if you stay in the same job but take on increasing responsibilities.

Pros

In central New Jersey. Office is new and nice location. Good pay. If you negotiate you get higher grade.

Cons

Tuition reimbursement benefits are bad. Insurance (LTD) is not that great. Bullying boss and unethical DBA team.

Finance & Treasury has become the captive of its consultants

Pros

Princeton culture is a kind and caring environment

Cons

In a desperate effort to make its Prime program succeed, the Finance and Treasury organization has let its consultant, Huron, hold almost all key leadership roles on its Prime program. As a result, there is no knowledge transfer, just cost overruns due to the need to keep funding Huron. Princeton employees in Finance and Treasury are being laid off to save costs.
