Pros
The faculty! Bright, engaging, grounded, approachable, impressive, real-world, friendly, professional and truly committed to empowering their students and advancing their specializations. They inspire me everyday.
Cons
Turn-around terror. Incompetent Sarah-Palin-style management have the best running for the door in certain groups. Arrogant senior leadership at the highest levels. Upwards of 45% of some professional units have fled during the last 12 months. This does not include the lightening lay-offs inspired by the new administration. More political than the statehouse. Transparency and open feedback are firmly discouraged. The mascot could be a white elephant. This is a shame - Northeastern is an amazing institution and has been a wonderful employer for me for many years. (I remain because I still want to send my teenagers to the university - a terrific benefit!) Great divisions and amazing people still exist, just make sure you do your homework.
