Purdue University Employer Reviews

This was to be a three month temporary job, but the department liked my work and hired me for a long-term position. Unfortunately, the department is in need of someone who can commit to a full-time position right now, and I am unable to do so with classes. I left the department on great terms this month. In a given day, I helped other staff members – more...  with data entry, mailings, filing, marketing research, emails to students, and phone assistance. There were many guidelines to follow with student documentation and deadlines, but it was a great job. – less

I spent a summer landscaping the Purdue University Residence halls. I was a lot of hard work and a lot of fun. I gave me some experience working in a large group that mainly set the schedule ourselves. My manager was very hands off. He gave us weekly tasks and let us be to do our jobs. The hardest part of the job was working with so many opinions with – more...  little leadership. The most enjoyable part of the job was learning to work in that type of environment. – less

As a graduate student of molecular and cancer biology. Purdue offers good training for basic science. However, due to the lack of medical school in Purdue, translational research is unfavorable.

The opportunities at Purdue University for expanding my research and academic skill sets were phenomenal and very insightful.

As the economy stretches to its limits so does the economy and budget for the learning industry. Cuts from government funding are hurting all the university and causing a land slide effect. The strive for more effeciency with less is making for a very stressful and painful envioronment.

This is a great experience to have while your in college. Plus working where you go to school adds a lot of convenience for you.

Analyzing and doing the simulation for the real industry, then make the optimization from the results. Learned how to deal with the people from the real company.

Offers a lot of opportunity for work-study students to get a little work in while they go to school. Flexible hours.

I liked the work conditions in the library and my job requirements were very consistent.

Required to assist students in analyzing and conducting research using SPSS and the GSS dataset. Most awarding aspect was when the figurative light bulb went on and could see they understood the processes of research.

A very productive work environment and fun place to work. The availability of equipment and professors makes it a great place to work.

Compensation at par or lower than other comparative grad schools but expenditures are increasing making life tough for grad students particularly those with families.

My job at Purdue was perfect for my needs. The only problem I had working there was that I couldn't continue after I graduated.

Working as and undergraduate doing research, this has been a tremendous place to work. The management is great, they direct deposit my paycheck quickly after receiving my time card. The people in my lab are willing to help when assistance is needed, and they are easy to get along with.
