Columbia, MO (US)

Current Employee – been working at University of Missouri full-time for more than 3 years

ProsColumbia Missouri is a very nice, affordable place to live. The University does have an excellent selection of learning opportunities.

ConsI have seen many graduate students exploited by their "mentors" as cheap technical labor. These mentors often make no effort to move the student toward gradation, and instead slow the student down as to keep them in the lab for a couple of extra years.

Advice to Senior ManagementInstitute policies to ensure that all graduate students are steadily progressing toward a degree.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Columbia, MO (US)

Former Employee – worked at University of Missouri full-time for more than a year

ProsAutonomy is the key. As a research scientist I was given leeway to explore projects in my own ways, and there was support when I needed it, both from my supervisor and from the office staff.

ConsI don't think this is a con, but you'd have to enjoy living in a small college town to work here. That being said, I truly enjoyed Columbia as a city. They are very forward-thinking despite their size and location in the middle of nowhere.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

ProsMU is one of six public universities that houses a law school, medical school, and a veterinary medicine school on the same campus.
