Meaningful Work and Great Colleagues, Some Bureaucracy

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working at UCLA has been a great experience. The benefits are strong, including healthcare, retirement plans, and generous time off. The work-life balance is solid, and the overall culture is supportive and respectful. I’ve had the chance to work with smart, mission-driven colleagues who care about what they do. The campus is beautiful, and there's a sense of pride in being part of a well-known university. There are also a lot of professional development resources and room to grow if you're proactive. Job stability is another big plus, especially in roles that are part of a union.

Cons

Like many large institutions, things can move slowly due to bureaucracy. Processes and approvals sometimes take longer than expected. Advancement can also depend heavily on seniority rather than performance, and salary increases are limited by union contracts or UC system policies.
