New York University Employer Reviews

Intensely gratifying to work with the world's greatest scholars and fertile minds of the future.

A typical day at work involves traveling to the designated elementary school at which I work. I administer and score a number of psychological assessments to kindergartners and 1st graders, as well as collect their saliva samples for research. In addition, a lot of my work includes scheduling with teachers, obtaining extra information for my bosses, – more... managing data and attending group meetings once in a while.

I've learned a lot about the importance of consistency and precision in research. I also learned that research can be very repetitive, but fun! I also learned how to effectively communicate and work with co-workers, bosses, and teachers/schools, as well as how to work alone and manage my own schedule.

The management is alright. Very friendly and hands-off, but quick to help with any situation when needed. Sometimes my work involves "cleaning up" after the management, but I understand that conducting a study throughout numerous states can be messy!

My co-workers are very nice and helpful. Even though we all work at different schools in distinct districts, we work as a team and support each other when needed (e.g. traveling to provide extra study materials to those who do not have enough).

The hardest part of the job is traveling to work with all the research equipment! The materials are quite heavy and traveling to work takes almost 2 hours!

Of course, the most enjoyable part is working with the kids! I get along very well with them. – less

My various experiences at New York University has provided me with a rich experience not only learning fundamental techniques and principles regarding work in a typical laboratory, but also provided an opportunity to learn about current and upcoming trends in biology.

Send my family there for medical treatment and they absolutely love it. It shows the level of commitment the staff have

Where can I even begin? I will say that I have spoken with people working in various departments within NYUMC (School of Medicine) and many have had the same experience, so my position was apparently not an anomaly.

To name just a few: incompetent managers, ridiculous politics, bureaucracy, no transparency about job or salary advancement, pathological – more... personalities, blatant elitism (favoritism towards the MDs and PhDs) but no meritocracy, questionable human research ethics.

My manager (an MD) in particular could not have cared less about my professional development, and instead vetoed every idea I had and every initiative I took, and specifically forbade me from pursuing new responsibilities I was interested in. He gave me menial tasks to complete and took credit for them. He was no longer going anywhere in his career so he made sure no one around him looked good, because he was afraid he would be displaced.

I will say that most staff at the "lower" levels - coordinators, analysts, technicians, etc - were pleasant to work with. These are the folks who were not senior enough to have assimilated into the toxic culture yet, and if you spoke with them long enough, were most likely looking for another job. – less

I would go in very early. Check into the system for repairs and wait until the professors or clients are in their office so we can go and do the repairs. When done, we come back to our office and work on classrooms or pending repairs.

We also repair printers to what we can, otherwise we send it to manufacture.

Great colleagues, wonderful workplace, leading technology incubation laboratory that produced some amazing projects.

I was a liasion between the Scientist and the IT team. I developed a website for an upcoming core facility and managed a database for new and exisiting customers.
I was also responsible for discussions with various vendors on upcoming technologies and was a key influence in making business decisions that aligned well with our requirements.

Great University to study and work.
Friendly people and environment.
So many facilities and utilities

Management was poor, but I learned more than I ever could have expected in preparation for graduate school.

It gave a me very good experience and i learned a lot from it. The work place is enjoyable the doctors and students are very nice. It was my pleasure working with them. Eventhough the job is very demanding.

Its work with fun. Gets too hectic during evenings when orders are suppose to be dispatched. The atmosphere is nice and everyone loves there work.

On the administration side; challenging projects, really felt that I was able to make a difference. Direct managers/supervisors were great, focused, goal oriented, and supportive. Trying to get faculty on board is like pulling teeth, but once you do, it's smooth sailings.

Excellent institute to work for.
I worked at Bellevue affiliation for total lenth of my service.Started at
HHC's flagship hospital "BELLEVUE" as trainee and has climbed to management level in first ten years. I am fortunate to have excellent coworkers who are caring for each other.
The hardest part I felt that I never had a chance to work in day shift.

* Modify the architecture of NAND Flash-based Solid-State Disk (SSD) and do implementation.
* Built an SSD simulator to compare the performance of SSD devices employing different Flash Translation Layer (FTL) schemes, and analyzed the energy

consumption.
* Run traces (RHEL 5 and TPC-C) and validated the performance against a number of real commercial – more... SSDs for behavioral similarity.
* Implemented NAND Flash controller compliant to ONFI on FPGA.
* Developed a low cost power failure protection scheme based on PRAM/DRAM hybrid buffer. – less

The honest approach by everyone, staff and students, to go through the day with a common goal and doing it with decency and professional standard is what NYU is all about.

developed my office work and computer skills. networking and knowledge of medical terminology

Trouble shooting and Resolving user issues. Creating user accounts and managing security. Some network management. I learned about cisco equipment and configuration. Coworkers were great and my boss was great. I enjoyed resolving issues on a large network.

NYU is a perfect place for a young proffesional to start. You get a laid back environment, with great life-work balance. You aslo get to take NYU classes nearly free.
