Good school - Research Assistant Worcester Polytech Employee Review

Flexible, great professors, strong union

Project oriented, benefits ok for graduate worker but not great

Can be pretty easy if most of your work is office hours. I had about seven hours a week and most of the time there weren't many students.

Grading was a lot harder than I expected. Pretty demoralizing honestly; a lot of clearly ChatGPT submissions (ECE programming class mostly with freshmen who'd never seen code before, so not surprising). Grading paper exams was fine.
