Pros

Living in NYC is exciting in many ways.

Cons

The professors are unaccountable to the ideals they are supposed to uphold, commonly committing research fraud and getting away with it due to the overwhelming corruption that spans the professor's self-governance. Furthermore, the facilities for scientific research are poorly managed by the worst bureaucrats that can be found. The problem is compounded by the unreasonably high price of real estate in NYC. Go to any other university for your degree. Any state school with good facilities will outperform this place, its reputation is a fraud.

Pros

My job with the Columbia Population Research Center is fully remote, which is a great perk. I can also create my own schedule and work any day of the week.

Cons

The pay could be better.

Pros

The work when I had it was amazing, I really appreciated it for what it gave me.

Cons

Unfortunately, with the change in management came zero transparency and rules for thee, not for me. It's led to really weird decisions.
