"As a graduate student research assistant, your job is to test and execute any ideas a professor has for a particular research topic. Whenever you are able to add some insight you are expected to do so. The job is part-time but will cover all tuition costs so it is well worth it."

"There are many people working at U of M in their SRO department that are just wonderful to work with. There is, however, way too much politics and a general lack of leadership from some of the supervisory staff."

"I've worked for U of M - Dearborn for over two years. The lab I'm working in can provide enough resource for me to support my academic pursuit. I gave my progress report to my professor in form of presentation in a group meeting, which greatly improved my presentation abilities and oral English abilities."

"I've worked at the University of Michigan as a Graduate Student Research Assistant at the micro systems lab. I've found the job to be challenging yet satisfying. It's opened up doors for collaboration with multiple research groups working at the frontiers of technology in engineering and medical fields. Colleagues and professors are exceptionally motivated about their work and will take time out to help you. I'd suggest the workplace to a friend."

"Nice people to work with; management is not as concerned with resolving issues and productivity as it is with protecting turf. Poor top down communications. Lacks necessary IT leadership to communicate goals and then take necessary action."

"I have worked at the Institute for Social Research for about a year now. Long story short, it's a great place to work if you're a Microsoft dev. However, if you mostly do open-source or dedicated web dev, you are going to have a bad time. There is also a resistance to using any new technology since it needs to be vetted through both the University's IT department, as well as the Institutes IT department, who both have very different guidelines."
