RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Cornell University full-time
Pros
Fantastic atmosphere, and easy to collaborate with other scientists. Ithaca is a great place to live and work. The work-life balance is easier to maintain here than other places.
Cons
A few late nights, and some communication issues with other departments. While most times expectations were laid out explicitly, the times when they were not made subsequent corrections tougher to implement.
Advice to Management
Really none, they made it easy to get things done. There was alot of support for all research personnel. There should be more programs to guide professional students interested in diverse career paths.

occasionally have to work with people who don't even try to do their job (i.e. they don't return calls, don't prepare for presentations/ workshops, continue to make excuses and not actually do work).
Advice to Management
management should review employee performance
