"Every team will be different, but there's a culture of isolation and us-against-them in many departments."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"It's hard to say if I would do anything differently at all; this could be a function of academia. Emory University feel like a high-rent school, and there can be a big disconnect between staff and just about everyone else."
