"Pioneering medicine environment with many talented researchers."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"While not all academic labs require you to stay late, the norm is to be highly productive, and get as much work done as you can. Some of the supervisors in the academic environment are tenured professors performing research as principal investigators. Find out what their expectations and visions are for your position, as well as, clearly define your role in the research environment in relation to the students and other employees that have seniority. By doing so you will not feel decisions made are arbitrary."
What don't you like about working at Cornell University?
"The lack of support and the attentiveness to needs for research support staff in an academic environment. Lack of a union, and oversight of principal investigators."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"An in-house organization should be set up to support the skill development of research support staff in the laboratory environment through training certification and provide a union to protect abuse of employees and bullying by superiors."
