Reviews about "cornell"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
The research being done at Cornell is very interesting and the facilities are amazing. Ithaca is a beautiful city. The stipend given to graduate students are higher than average.
Cons
Ithaca is very cold and somewhat dreary in the winter. While the graduate student stipend is nice, the cost of living in Ithaca is also high.

Pros
I've found the working environment at Cornell to be friendly and engaging. It also offers great benefits.
Cons
Ithaca is somewhat remote. Lecturer positions don't pay a great deal.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Ithaca is a cute mini city and Cornell is really a nice place to work. They pay grad students well. Personally, I find the work-life balance great and I love it there. Hard working but not high stress. Good culture
Cons
It is hard for spouses to find jobs here though, there is not a lot of work in Ithaca unless you are in a really high-demand career like programming or IT.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Obviously has great benefits as a university. Work tends to be really interesting as it doesn't always have to be for profit- it can be research for the sake of knowledge. Hours tend to be very flexible, perks like continuing education benefit really made it worthwhile to stick around for a few years post graduation.
Cons
Cornell is consistently ranked one of the most stressful schools and IMO this carries over to employees. Even though I had a ton of time off I could never really use it because I was always being asked to take on more work.

- Former Employee★★★★★

unwilling to give part time workers fair compensation and nearly impossible to ridse
- Former Intern★★★★★
Pros
Amazing internship at the CHESS Cornell particle accelerator and X-ray laboratory. Python programming and computational physics research with a great teacher-student ratio and supportive staff, as well as research seminars and one-on-one mentorship.
Cons
No mentionable cons with this position.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Working as a consultant is a great opportunity to learn about the various technologies used at Cornell and to help others. Hours are flexible, and the other staff members are generally willing to share their knowledge.
Cons
The work can be slow at times, and it can become a bit repetitive and tedious. However, new technologies are introduced frequently enough to mitigate this.
