Penn State University Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Great company, with a great impact to clients."

"While this job may seem like a simple General IT Asistant job at first, Penn State allows students to do whatever their expertise allows them. If you show your skill in software development, the Graduate School IT staff will allow you grow and work in that aspect. If your skills are more related to security and networking, there is also room to grow there."

"I have worked for Penn State for just over 2 years. The University is a strong employer in the region. My experience working here has been very good, though making the change from the business world to the higher ed world has come with some challenges. The nuances of the University and how the size and scope of the business affect everyday business are something to get accustomed too."

"I worked as an intern for the Systems Administrator at the Pennsylvania State University School of Information Sciences and Technology. I found it to be a great way to learn the day-to-day operations of an IT admin during a normal school year."

"This job was amazing. I had the ability to perform a multitude of laboratory techniques and translationally based procedures including rodent care and rodent surgery. There were so many opportunities to gain new experience and skills."

"The experience at Penn State is fantastic!"

"I have worked for Penn State University ever since deciding to return and finish me degree in 2011. Working on campus has been an amazing experience. I get to see fellow students and am able to keep great relationships with most the staff and faculty. I hope that I will get an opportunity to share my experiences with other organizations and get a chance to become a asset for that organization."

"I worked as an IST Learning Assistant for a web development course at Penn State for one semester. My main duty was to help teach students how to make web apps with HTML/CSS, PHP, and MySQL. The Penn State workplace for me consisted of a classroom with brand new computers and software to help me and the students create anything they could imagine. I have nothing but great things to say about the whole experience. If I was still in school I would easily continue working as a Learning Assistant."

"Had fun, it was great work and really did teach me a lot of new material."

"Considering that my employment was as a graduate student (teaching assistant, research assistant), the pay and advancement opportunities had a built-in low quality to them. I suspect an actual research/faculty position within the department would receive a higher rating."
