good place - Anonymous employee Yale University Employee Review

The BBS Umbrella program is fantastic - allows people to switch between tracks (not the easiest, but the option for this flexibility is nice) and it houses many fantastic departments with strong support for their students and faculty. The Department of Cell Biology was amazing. Faculty mentors (not always, but way more often) felt like colleagues that listen to you and are "in the weeds" with you. Major shout out to the BCMM Holy Trinity (probably moved at this point to the new building) that fostered such a fun work environment and trustworthy mentorship. Note the "Con" below, but it is also important to mention that many of the faculty that I worked with were supportive of my (and others') pursuit of other career paths. Also, the ratings below reflect my opinions after the Union was put into place.

Both Yale and the academic departments could do a better job preparing their students for alternative career paths. The culture is still definitely leaning towards the academic route despite the increasingly fewer number of faculty positions available each year. There will seldomly be pushback to the pursuit of other career paths, but this pursuit has to be 100% innately driven for each candidate. In contrast, the culture externally influences people to naturally go the academic route.

Great salary and benefits; amazing research environment

Student entitlement and grade inflation
