University of Montana Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"The position I worked at involved setting up a PerfSONAR machine so that we could monitor the network between the Fire Labs in Missoula and the University of Montana. I do recommend the professor I was working for, but I do not recommend the President of the University of Montana. He has placed too much of an emphasis on sports instead of the true goals of education."

"My role as a Teacher Assistant at the University of Montana was offered to me when I was accepted as a Master's Candidate in Computer Science at the University of Montana. The professors and staff at the department are kind and supportive. I would recommend pursuing a Master's over there. I do not recommend the President (CEO) of the University of Montana. Ever since he has been in office there has been the Griz scandal and there is a lack of focus on the students at the University of Montana. It's a bummer George Dennison retired."
