Pros

The benefits are great. That’s about it.

Cons

This University bends the knee when it actually comes to understanding and valuing morals. They are just as corporate and money hungry as any other corporation. They love to tout that they’re a non-profit but completely behave like the for profit institution that they are. They have no values. The values they stand for crumble as soon as pressure is applied. Don’t believe the generic reviews here. While yes it is a highly siloed ecosystem, overall they are eons behind on innovation. You will not progress here. You will stagnate. They do not care about you. The sooner you accept that the better off you will be. They recently went through a huge layoff. That should tell you where their financials stand. Completely reactionary institution allergic to any type of risk.
