Flexible work schedule but culture can be challenging - Laboratory Technician North Carolina State University Employee Review

Great place to work at

None it was a great job

Some really great professors with a lot of experience and connections to labs, industry, government, etc. Research is highly relevant and world-class.

Some professors can be quite toxic or over-demanding of their students. Would recommend thoroughly researching PIs before committing to one for masters or phd. Also, NCSU has notoriously bad upper-level management. Huge delays in the bureaucracy result in PIs missing out on million-dollar grants. Although the professors may care deeply for their students, the people above them don't care at all and have no interest in listening to professors or students about how to improve the school.
