Pros

Very motivating work environment. Made for a learning environment which served as a stepping stone for landing a future job.

Cons

Some of the professors are very disconcerting at times and will give you absolutely no time of day. Others will give the world for you so it's basically who you know.

Pros

Columbia is an intelligent and collegial environment. You will find students and colleagues alike who are ready to engage in interesting and challenging conversations which makes it an intellectually stimulating place to work.

Cons

Columbia is a very large institution and at times it can be very hard to connect with the many parts of the university.
