Disappointing environment overshadowed by decent work-life balance

Pros

Decent work life balance and good vacation

Cons

My experience with UFV was deeply disappointing and genuinely harmful. The environment felt overly bureaucratic, resistant to change, and shaped by a narrow small-town mindset. The stress of navigating that system left a lasting impact, and I would caution others not to expect meaningful accountability or change.
