Pros

wonderful people, exciting environment, located in one of the greatest cities in the world. not a bad place to be while working in nyc.

Cons

there aren't many downsides - it's tough to come up with one at the moment, lets see - it's a little far uptown?

Pros

Benefits at Columbia University are top notch. Great vacation benefits, if you are able to take time off. Multiple medical plans to choose from.

Cons

Poor management, and general lack of leadership. Most departments are so siloed that the right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing.
