University of California Los Angeles Employer Reviews

UCLA in my opinion is the best, well-rounded university in the US. We are in the top 25 (some place us in top 5) for academics and research, have a great athletic program and are located 5 miles from the beach, 5 miles to hollywood, and 2 hrs to snow and/or desert. My PI was fantastic, probably the best any graduate student could ask for. He was very – more...  well funded, top of the field in energy storage and extremely approachable. I just wish LA wasn't so expensive to live in. – less

Very fun, energetic environment. Summer camp job great for students in-between school and work.

After the Asbestos incident, the part I like the most other than the head Archetect saying to me you build it and I'll draw it was helpping a friend of mine put his daughter through UC Berkeley and before she got her Masters' they got a Noble in BioPhisics just the way I like to do things.

unfair and unprofessional activities, politics, affairs

It was a fun work environment full of culture. A typical day at work involved assisting my manager in office duties. Co-workers were easy going, productive workers.

I am a millennial who currently works for UCLA. I love my job, but I find the University can be an incredibly challenging place to work. We are big - there are over 30,000 staff and faculty employed here - and someone once said that UCLA was a uniquely decentralized university. There are so many smart students here and the work/life balance I've experienced – more...  has been fantastic. UCLA offers many benefits to its employees, ranging from access to cheap movie tickets to subsidized transit passes. That said, I know a lot of people my age who have left. It's hard for us to imagine making a career here. Salaries are stagnant and not everyone here will see career mobility. There's a reason people my age are accused of being job hoppers -- its' because even at the 5th largest employer in LA, it's hard to get promoted here. This is compounded by the fact that many of us millennials here are working way harder than some baby boomers who are RIP (rest in pension). Never mind that the pension may not be here for US when/if we retire! – less

The Community Based Learning program was a great asset to the youth at the school sites in LAUSD. My particular site helped the youth to take ownership of their school, their actions, and their future success in school. The workers were all a great support system for the students and for each other. The hardest part is when the students graduated and – more...  the enjoyable part is helping a student find themselves. – less

Management and co-workers were professional.

The hardest part of the job was saying "no" to applicants who were on the wait list.

The most enjoyable part was writing personalized messages to applicants.

Large, decentralized, operationally focused institution. Experience varies by department.

A nice place to work. I like the fact that they provide peer reviews, which are not judgmental or intimidating but are designed to give each other feedback and ways to always improve, a goal we all should undertake anyway. Professional courtesy is second-to-none. It's easy to get spoiled having a ready supply of chalk, a squaky clean board each morning – more...  and technology that worrks and is ready when you are. You feel that the support for your endeavors are, well, supportive! The only "negative" is that it's not so easy to crack the barrier of the "in" crowd. The old guard has worked there for ions and they are not so willing to let you joing their "club" --if that is a goal of yours. – less

UCLA provided a great experience interacting with students and provided a great opportunity to shape their educational experience.

I have learned lot of scientific knowledge and new research techniques. Also learned how to interact with scientific meeting.

My time at ASUCLA has been great. I have grown in my roles and been promoted on several occasions into more demanding and fulfilling roles. Working here has allowed me to maintain a good balance between school and work, and I believe it has actually allowed me to focus better on what I need to accomplish in both.

Overall a great working environment. Staff is busy but willing to help out.

Good company to work for great benfits, lots of education opputunites
