Pros

Columbia University has a good campus vibe, good intellectual atmosphere, good range of students and great library facilities. It also has good retirement benefits and reasonable health insurance plans.

Cons

The administration is extremely uncooperative and extremely hard-to-navigate bureaucracy makes life often very difficult here. If you are a foreign scholar, expect even worse.

Pros

My job with the Columbia Population Research Center is fully remote, which is a great perk. I can also create my own schedule and work any day of the week.

Cons

The pay could be better.

Pros

The work when I had it was amazing, I really appreciated it for what it gave me.

Cons

Unfortunately, with the change in management came zero transparency and rules for thee, not for me. It's led to really weird decisions.
