Very work precise and follows instruction to perfection. Very well maintained.

Virginia Tech offers a great environment and supports all kind of different research ideas. Fantastic place to enlight your career.

The ESM department has a very good course work for advanced degrees as well as a very creative research environment.

State job, great for personal life and being a teacher / instructor

I had a great learning experience here, studying under the guidance of the best faculty.

Cultured bacteria strains, learned proper handling of bacteria, use of advanced equipment

Virginia Tech is a great employer, but the VTC has a lot of bugs to work out. They are doing great things, but wouldn't work in an administrative/IT role there. Some personalities are difficult to deal with and can be controlling. No clear direction.

Typically we went to the test plot and took soil samples or measured infiltration. Some days I would work in the lab sifting soil or grinding samples.

I developed my ability to work as a part of team. I gained specialized skills working with complex equipment.

Management and Co-workers were the best part of the job. Field work can be fairly tedious – more... at times and having a good group of people to work with made it much more pleasant.

Some of the work was pretty grueling. Bulk density sampling in particular wore me out. Good workout though. – less

A typical day is to clock in and go to your section then talk to your supervisor for the days work. The people are friendly for the most part and there is ample down time.

You can work with so many brilliant faculties, researchers and students. A very free environment for doing both theoretical research and practical design and implementation.

My time with F&W Management was great. I learned a lot from the staff I worked with. They shown me the in & out of the business and the correct way to run the business. because it was an internship I had a lot of time to sit back and shadow the property manager and learn one on one from her. Property Management grew on me fast that summer and became – more... something I look forward to doing in the future. – less

A great environment for someone pursuing a graduate degree in economics.

My time at VT was good. Being a university, there are people working there from around the country, and student workers from around the globe. Even though we were diverse, the staff seemed to get along very well.

Working with graduate students to teach freshmen biological labs.

good job first 9 months afterwards started going downhill. i had a good relationship with the management at first. 9 months later was told i was needed on sundays to work and at the same time was told i could not have 1 day off to go to my brothers wedding out of state. i missed church and the wedding making me very unhappy. then told i could not have – more... thursdays off for my knights of colombus meetings then was told i needed to find something that would put a smile on my face. so i did and became an emergency substitute school bus driver. told management about my extra job that made me happy. explained that in a emergency i might be needed to drive a school bus to take anywhere from 30 to 60 children safely home from school. exciting right !!! well unfortunate for me even though i gave a 2 week warning when the day came that i was called to take the children home from school i was told if i left i would be terminated. so ends my employment at virginia tech. – less

I am working my PhD degree in Virginia Tech. It is a really good place for studying. Excellent professors in different fields especially focus on engineering and they give me a lot of valuable suggestion during my study.

Ph.D. Student @ Virginia Tech

Doing research and study with professors and students

I was both a student and a Resident Adviser during my stay at Virginia Tech and have no regrets. If you have any specific questions feel free to contact me.

Current management for research is overcontrolling and plays political games.

I was a research assistant in a campus laboratory. I am not at leisure to disclose further information about my work due to government contracts.
