Drexel University Employee Reviews for Research Assistant

"It's a good school overall. I am grad student here and working on my maters."

"This is a good place to develop your skills and knowledge for your career."

"Decent faculty, old building, sometimes non-responsive administration."

What do you like about working at Drexel University?

"Research is both your job and your education, so there is no conflict there. Some of the faculty can be very helpful."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"This is a research university, so let your nerdiness show. However, stick mostly to relevant topics. The chemistry department doesn't care about your Renaissance Faire habit."

What don't you like about working at Drexel University?

"The administration can be unresponsive to students, especially grad students. The physics department is just a couple of floors in an old building, whose construction was not at all optimized for physics research."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Taking on hundreds more undergrads than in past years, and then hurriedly building more dorms to house them, is not a good long-term strategy for making money."

"It was a great experience."
