Dec 29, 2022 - Research Specialist in Houston, TXRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
There are lots of perks for working at Rice. Great health benefits, 401k, and tuition assistance. I was able to get a Master's degree while working there!
Cons
There aren't a whole lot. If I had to think of once, it was just that I felt like I was a little underpaid for the level of work I was doing but they were helping pay for my Masters so I really can't complain too much.

Things move very slowly and change takes awhile to occur.
