Pros

Vanderbilt has HR down to a science, regardless of position it seems. As far as the technical staff, it can be a little hit or miss which is related to what group you are in. That being said, the good groups are great. Low stress, easy deadlines, and you could really focus in on detail and not be in crunch mode every other week.

Cons

Parking sucks. Remote work policy (at the time) was questionable.

Pros

Good pay and medical benefits. If you're lucky, your manager will be inattentive enough to allow you to work.

Cons

Extremely political work environment. More time is spent making yourself look like you're making progress than actually making progress. Management loves to brag about "open-minded" culture, but it couldn't be further from the truth. Terrible hierarchy where faculty are treated like royalty and staff are expendable. Any attempts to improve efficiency are shot down in order to create more work. The worst part is the haughty attitude everyone seems to have about it all. Prestige and popularity is more important than results.
