Pros

Many brilliant and accomplished employees at CUMC involved in cutting edge medicine and science. Benefits and opportunities for professional development were good and many programs seemed very well funded.

Cons

My main concern with CUMC involved the culture and atmosphere. Work environment became quite toxic, and in my opinion, unprofessional behavior from a few bad apples was not appropriately addressed or curtailed by management. Many talented people left as a result. This may not be universal, but was a major issue in my department/division.

Great environment, interesting work, and smart colleagues. Tuition benefit is meaningful.

Cons

Raises are not based on performance and don’t meet cost of living raises so comp needs to be improved.
