Yale University Reviews

Not all it is cracked up to be. Horrible culture, entitled, elitist attitude throughout, absolutely contagious negative mindset "Well you know how it is here, you can't do anything right, so why bother at all?" No regard for personal development "You should be so lucky as to be an employee here" attitude. Meetings with multiple recruiters and still no upward mobility. Career services gives it to you bluntly, "you don't have the experience for this" but expects you to stay in an entry level job(s) for years with very limited advancement opportunities (or planned trajectory). Employees that have tenure will not leave, creating a very scarce/highly competitive job market for those looking to grow. This is not an institution for high performers unless you are a faculty member.

Pay is not competitive with other Ivies or the regional market. Promotion system is far from transparent - not directly related to results. Pay at various title levels equally opaque. If you are male, you will never hold a management position within this 250-person organization under its current leadership (accept it unfortunately). Entire development office works on intense systems of micromanagement
