Constructive - Graduate Student Yale University Employee Review

Pros

Yale offers phenomenal science faculty to work with who are all working on incredibly interesting projects. Moreover, there is a breath of mentoring styles amongst the faculty, meaning that, through rotations, it is very easy to find the right lab for you.

Cons

Many people take issue with New Haven. It is absolutely a real urban environment, and not a tourist-trap urban environment. This means that you must actually pay attention and keep yourself safe. The usual caveats of "don't walk alone at night" apply, just as they would apply anywhere.

Pros

Great benefits, lots of opportunities, exciting environment

Cons

In academia, where salaries are generally lower than in the corporate sector, there can be a disproportionate amount of arrogance because many people are motivated by prestige and status rather than financial compensation.
