"I have been working for LCI for about one year. Working in this research center gave me opportunities to learn how data-based research is done and how to find the best strategy to illustrate your research findings to the audience. People have the flexibility to participate in the research topics that they are interested in."

"I've worked at UCLA Health for over two years. It's a fun experience because people are smart and motivated. However, there are a lot of administrative issues, and there is little to no room for growth unless you are a medical professional."

"I have been a student at UCLA since 2015. I started to teach in 2016 as a teaching assistant and I had a great experience as a TA, although the union is trying to improve the wages, everything else was great. During my doctorate, I enjoyed working on my research and it was great that I had the freedom to work independently."

"A good place to work. Work and personal life balanced, great management and teams. UCLA offers a pack of by far the best benefits out there. Once you are in-house staff, you are in the whole pool UC system. Extremely easy process to transfer between departments. Access to all the recreations all over the campus, big discounts on classes, etc. Overall, it was a very good place to work for me."
