"MSU is a great place to work. Sadly, I was let go due to budgetary constraints. My job performance was praised often, but, last hired, first laid off. I found that their computer security was a joke, but I was ignored. Overall, the school has a problem with promoting those who deserve to be rewarded. It's much like a popularity contest."
