What is it like working at Cornell University?
Freedom in Exchange for Salary.
Software Engineer in Ithaca:
Pros: Can learn and implement just about any technology you want.

Media Production Manager in Ithaca:
Pros: The fact that we can personally dictate process and inform leadership of best practices and competitive advancements

Beautiful place to work.

Software Engineer in Ithaca:
Pros: Wide range of technology
Cons: Pay isn't competitive
Software Engineer:
Cornell's like a lot of Higher Ed - you get extra freedom, great technology, and the chance to work alongside really smart, thoughtful people. The pay isn't as good, but the benefits almost make up for it. You are never bored there, and politics are almost always navigable if you are a hard worker. The prestige factor of working at an Ivy League school is a plus. And the ice cream is the best - sometimes you even get it free!
