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.

Pros

If you a PhD student, you never have to worry about money or funding. Professors have a lot of funding for different research projects.

Cons

The EE department/professors are not very supportive of the PhD students. Most of them are not typically patient with students if they are taking their time with projects. They replace them with new students.
