Virginia Tech Reviews

I worked at Virginia Tech full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – The benefits were good especially insurance and retirement. The work environment was good. The dining halls on campus have good food and are convenient to walk to for lunch. Busses available to those that live close, I was not able to utilize this though.

Cons – The parking pass needed to park on campus is expensive. The pay was not great for the level of education required for the job, relative to a job in industry. Being under a grant funded technician position the grants ended and my job dissapeared before I was vested (5 years) for retirement.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Pros – Blacksburg is a nice town and the university has many talented researchers to collaborate with.

Cons – Graduate student offices and labs are often old and in need of renovation.

Advice to Senior Management – The university seems to spend its money on things such as fancy dinning halls instead of new research space.
