UC San Diego Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"It's big, like really big, it's easy to get lost in the shuffle. Most of the job listings you see from them are fake. They are posted to satisfy university policy but the position is actually tailored for someone to step in to. It can be a huge waste of time."

"There were frequently situations where I was worried about the health and well being of their patients."
