Pros
The tuition exemption benefit is by far the best thing Columbia has to offer employees. The health benefits are good (by US standards), and the 21 vacation days + 3 personal days + unlimited sick days are a plus too. Depending on your manager, work/life balance is also good. I am rarely expected to work outside of normal business hours.
Cons
It is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get a promotion, much less a raise, at Columbia. HR will look for literally any loophole to disqualify a case for salary adjustment. If upward mobility and increasing your earning potential is important to you, I don't recommend Columbia as an employer. The business processes are also antiquated and frustratingly slow and unproductive.
