      Good place to work

      Pros

      Purdue University is a great place to do your post-doctoral training. There are various opportunities for collaboration with different departments. Of course a lot depends on your direct supervisor.

      Cons

      Its a small college town which means there aren't many venues for recreation outside of the university clubs and activities. Not having an airport makes it a hassle to travel sometimes.

      Big university, small college feel

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Highly regarded university, especially in the science, technology, engineering and math arenas. There are lots of opportunities to connect with internationally respected faculty members and extremely bright students. Enterprising individuals can establish relationships nationally/internationally. Lots of opportunity to be innovative in the administrative arena

      Cons

      Administratively, the university is "playing catch up" to many other big universities and change comes at a glacial pace. There are a lot of "silos" within the university which, at times, makes collaboration difficult, but that seems to be changing

      Purdue University, highly Overrated

      Librarian

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits were pretty good, comparable to other universities in the region, and it is a campus where there is always something interesting going on. There was always an interesting speaker or an exhibition to take advantage of, which were additional perks to being a Purdue employee.

      Cons

      Unfortunately I found little opportunity for career advancement, and a very snobbish attitude on the part of faculty.
