Rutgers University reviews

Outdated central IT department. Far too many Chancellors, Vice Chancellors, and Deans, not enough mid-level skilled employees. Golden parachute contracts galore. Execs throw millions at administrators and contractors to solve problems like continuous DDOSes that can be solved by mid-range IT security specialists anywhere else. Did I mention the central IT department is outdated?

It's a complete ambition killer, higher-ups don't value their staff and it is near impossible to move up or see any kind of progression. As someone who started in 2010, I pay more for my benefits without any kind of pay increase so I'm making less money now than I did then. They do offer tuition remission but be warned, you get taxed HEAVILY on your paycheck after you reach the 5,000 cap (which you do after two classes) and it seems like no one in HR knows anything about those payroll deductions. It's a stable job, sure but beyond that, go into a Rutgers job knowing what you want from your position and with an exit strategy otherwise be prepared to fight tooth and nail for any kind of upward mobility despite tenure or skill.
