Pros

Great benefits and some really great people work here.

Cons

This place protects the C-Suite at all costs no matter what they do. Anyone not in the C-Suite is expendable. Management does whatever it wants because they know they can't get sued directly. So sad. Do yourself a favor and work at a place with ethics and high standards, not here.

Pros

Only the name. Because people hold the name "UCLA" with such high regard. Unjustly so, because if you Gogle UCLA unlawful sell of body parts, it may change your opinion!!?

Cons

The work area is not what you'd expect of a muti-billion facility. "ALL" the technology is outdated. (Both the software and the hardware.) Also, there is no budget for either new or more equipment, per management. And because there's not enough computers, you have people sharing PC's and desk space. The chairs/seats are all old and stained with what you hope is water marks. (But it really sweat stains!) Can you say "Yuck"!!? All that for $20 bucks an hour?

Pros

A generous retirement and pension plan that's paid for by the state.

Cons

Rampant feminism and no tolerance for difference of opinion. Very political atmosphere and lots of bureaucracy. Titles are just thrown around at people who lack any experience and get high level jobs that they aren't qualified for. High turnover rate.
