Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Be prepared for a roller-coaster ride. There are good days, but they're outnumbered by days of frustration, bureaucracy, and random enforcement of policies which are never put on paper, for fear that the director might be held accountable for what's written."
What don't you like about working at University of Chicago?
"My manager was demoted a few weeks after he hired me. The man who replaced him was unprofessional; he played favorites, made personal remarks about employees behind ther backs; allowed bullying; was incapable of standing up to higher management on behalf of his team; held back information that could have been used to allow me to improve, then punished me for not knowing. It was a hugely dysfunctional environment, complicated by my mishandling of a medical problem I was experiencing at the time. By the end of my tenure there, I was the team scapegoat and laughing-stock, and my manager was the leader of the pack."
What suggestions do you have for management?
