Current Employee – been working at University of Virginia full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Friendly and the program is good

Cons – The engineering school in this university did not receive much support from the Vistor Board, as they favor Business and Law schools more. And more job opportunities are governmental contracts, so international students do not have many chances.

Advice to Senior Management – Just emphasize on Business and Law is not enough. Improving the science and engineering part can move the university's rank and reputation to another new level.

Former Employee – worked at University of Virginia full-time for more than a year

Pros – Great benefits package. The retirement is awesome.

Cons – Micro management to the max. They tell you they want thinkers, pro active people and then handcuff you. They don't believe a first line. Supervisor should work or support their troops. Management is too busy worrying about what people will think than actually enforcing laws!

Advice to Senior Management – Let your supervisors do their job, stop throwing them under the bus and support them

Current Employee – been working at University of Virginia full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – You can set your own hours, unless an experiment is running. There are many international students who provide interesting views on the world and expand your horizons. The university as a whole is a nice place to be.

Cons – The pay is lousy, and many faculty can't even come up with enough to keep their students from having to TA. Most faculty, particularly the ones in charge, treat graduate students like children. The technical work is tedious, and this is exacerbated by the fact that in the big picture, it's all irrelevant.

Advice to Senior Management – Learn to manage. Take a leadership course, the business school here is well-regarded. Show a little respect to your students.
