      An institution that doesn't care about you. - Postdoctoral Research Scientist Columbia University Employee Review

      Pros

      Prestige, connections to other researchers

      Cons

      Core facilities not up to other institutions. HR extremely unorganized, I didn't get paid for 4 weeks, no benefits enrollment until 1 month. Ethical conduct in research training is severely lacking. Poor morale among a lot of post docs. Buildings are not even adequate, our floor has been 96 degrees some days due to a malfunctioning AC system. Apparently a problem for 3 years.

      Pros

      If you a PhD student, you never have to worry about money or funding. Professors have a lot of funding for different research projects.

      Cons

      The EE department/professors are not very supportive of the PhD students. Most of them are not typically patient with students if they are taking their time with projects. They replace them with new students.
