University Corporation for Atmospheric Research Employee Reviews for Scientist

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"There is no real tenure system even if management will mention there is one.I've seen countless tenured scientists be given a hint that they should look for work and some outright fired with no other reasons than budget problems.The tenure trick is only there for you to accept a lower salary for your qualifications.Compare to DOE labs (without tenure systems) and the salaries are 50% bigger."

What don't you like about working at University Corporation for Atmospheric Research?

"Management is inept. In order to build a new team, outside funding is required(or you need to be best friend with top management or a senior scientist)."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Group managers should not be permanent positions.UCAR wants to copy academia then let the management positions be on a finite-term basis."
