Pros

Good benefits if are an AP faculty or Research faculty. Some good people work here, but sadly overshadowed by the plethora of organizational problems

Cons

The IT department is male dominated with very little diversity and has a toxic tribal mentality. The HR in IT is one of the worst I have ever experienced in my life! Unresponsive, irresponsible and will find every way possible to blame you for their own mistakes. To make things worse, the folks in charge of HR are on a power trip and will bully/prevent anyone from progressing if you fall out of favor with them. There is really no accountability for their actions other than reporting them to central HR, however little will come from that. Avoid the IT department at all costs!
