      Pros

      Good salaries, many nice and helpful people. Pretty campus, flexible schedules and decent benefits. Divisions are all different and have unique cultures.

      Cons

      Research dominates and staff is treated like second class citizens. Systemic morale and ethics issues. Management and HR are not interested in changing or improving the workplace.

      Ignored This Employee's Health and Complaints

      Pros

      Naturally beautiful campus with a serene feeling. Most people here, especially in the HR department, are likeable.

      Cons

      The company ignored years of complaints about a toxic manager. Had to quit when I realized how much it was affecting my sleep and leading to issues such as hypertension and heart palpitations. A year of homelessness later and I would still do it again just to get away.

      Nice place to work

      Pros

      Beautiful campus and surroundings; great holiday schedule and PTO benefits; a chance to work alongside some really intelligent individuals; decent employer contribution to your 401k; Caltech is recognized worldwide for its excellence in education and research; very good work-life balance.

      Cons

      Typically low pay; the campus is pretty small, so transferring can be difficult and very competitive; not all divisions operate the same, so some employees enjoy schedule flexibility and holiday perks more than others - it's a matter of getting lucky and landing in a division/department that fits with your preferences/needs.
