University of Colorado Employer Reviews

Management is lack of efficiency. However, undergraduate education is more emphasized.

Great commitment to and support from the entrepreneurial community.

Being a TA was a great way to review and practice the skills learned when previously taking the class. The working hours were flexible.

I learned so much about life, myself, and working in a "true professional environment" at my time working at The University of Colorado. I was also attending the University as a student at the time of employment, so I was able to interact with leaders of the University that I may not have had the opportunity to do so had I not had the positions that – more... I did; which were The Executive Assistant to the Director of Greek Life as well as the Director of Public and Media Relations for the Pan-Hellenic Association (within the Greek Life organization at the University of Colorado). – less

Duties included development, characterization and utilization of analytical methods for the analysis of self assembled monolayers (SAMs) on electrode surfaces. Developed and characterized novel electrochemical sensors for the detection of phenolic compounds. Helped characterize new chemical sampling instrumentation with quantitative capillary GC analysis – more... and a variety of electrochemical approaches. Responsible for installation, maintenance and calibration of HP 5890 GC system, as well as method development and quantitation of samples acquired from a number of agricultural materials – less

As a Teacher's Assistant responsibilities typically include grading papers, monitoring participation and more.

Build test structures in the lab that would then be tested in either the centrifuge of hydrolic presses. Learned to work with AutoCAD and Solidworks, also learned about mechanical drawings and building structures to spec. Management was great and co-workers are still some of my good friends, very relaxed atmosphere. Hardest part of the job was having – more... to deal with test failure. Most enjoyable part was watching a test work perfectly. – less

Very fast pace environment; opportunity for challenge,communication with various individuals, wonderful learning experience with medical field.

This is not an institution that advocates higher education. Most of the executives in higher level positions were not educated at CU, nor do they advocate anyone that went to their school having a higher level position. I was a salaried employee expected to be on call 24/7, to come in at all hours, to perform tasks way above my skill level with little – more... to no recognition and absolutely no overtime. My direct supervisor repeatedly took credit for projects and ideas that I initially had, only to continually be verbally abused by that same person and eventually fired. I went in with a higher educational background then the majority of people in my department (Masters level education from a top tier school) whereas the majority of those in my department held B.A.'s from online universities and had never actually attended a brick and mortar institution. I was told on my first day of work that my colleague (hired at the same level) had never actually read an entire book.

What a disgrace to the State of Colorado. – less

Highly technical fast paced work environment with opportunities to learn and implement new technologies.

Great employer and very nice coworkers. Good culture and environment

It really a wonderful experience to work with University of Colorado. I have ameliorated a lot at my work place by pursing my masters in Computer Science.

-work about 12 hours a week
-all day on tuesdays and thursdays to run carbon testing
-went out to BAO once every two weeks to change out filters
-management was unorganized but I helped in the lab to sort out data
-co-workers were all awesome
-hardest part was working with the management due to my boss's lack of communication
-enjoyable part was working – more... in the field, obtaining enough data to see trends and what they correlate to and all the knowledge I obtained – less

It was a good career for me and had good benefits but there were pluses and minuses like any job. Over a good experience though.

Horrible experience working at the Orthodontic office poor management, The hardest part of the job is that you go above and beyond with co-workers and patients and still very unappreciated. The pay is horrible for what you do at this office. I would not recommend this to anyone. Turn over rate is bad....

Great place to work, great people. Excellent science, beautiful location

Great Place to work. I never felt like I took my work home with me. I had as much job security as I could have with a Grant funded department.

working with University of Co Hospital each Department we all worked well together. we would get together on each employee's birthday and bring different types of food for potlucks; our productivity we always worked together to complete our tasks. the pros of that position was it was always exciting to be there; the cons was there was no overtime the – more... hardest part of the job.....there wasn't any. I I enjoy the Hospital setting. I would like something more where I can be challenged. – less

Currently I am working as a part-time software developer, database developer and smartphone application developer at this job. I am really satisfied with the experience I got here. I have learned Android Application programming. I got a chance to work on Java Web Services.
All the co-workers are very helpful, hardworking and inspiring.
The only hardest – more... part of this job is managing work/life balance. But all I had to do was improving time management skills. – less

This reinforced the technical details of the courses that I was teaching. This is very important to being able to apply the technology in the best way to solve a problem.
