New York University

"It can be demanding sometimes, however depending on the position can be good"

"NYU is a great employer in many aspects, the benefits package is well above average and administrators are given over 4 weeks of vacation from the start. However, promotion and pay equity are still challenges, and while things are changing it is taking time."

"It depends on which department you are working for and your line manager will affect your work experience. People are respectful to each other. The pay is not competitive though but at least you will have work-life balance compared to some other industries. "

"Worked in NYU with different departments and programs, all positive experience."

"Your manager will ultimately make or break your experience. Typically speaking there are a lot of women in support and administrative roles and far fewer on the faculty, but you do see women in senior leadership at the school level."

"Have your own plan outside of a 9-5 job. No matter where you go there are things you will have no control over. That is especially true for leadership "

"Depends on your role but in general academia is very flexible"

"There is still work to be done but ultimately a great place to work for a woman. "

"This is a liberal environment that is diverse and open to womens' issues. That said, it is not very organizationally mature so the execution of these policies will vary from department to department. "

"We're all on the same level here, which is nice!"

"Don't be humble about your abilities. Be confident about what you have to offer and take available opportunities to make your strengths known. Network and learn to navigate the politics of the organization."

"Gender equality is respected though there are other institutional issues that could be improved from an efficiency and communications standpoint"

"NYU was a wonderful place to work for the most part, but some departments are more political than other. Residential life and housing had a disparity related to racial and gender diversity and promotions. This was one of the reasons I left."

"The university is very fair, adjuncts are in a union."

"I don't have enough details about NYU as an employer. I know there are a lot of women working there as Admin, clerks, and faculty, so I guess it must be ok."

"It's a big enough company that it depends heavily on where you work. I have experienced both good and bad work environments in just three years here. "

"Very political, but good work-life balance. Money is not great but educational opportunities are very good. Coworkers are generally very supportive and friendly. Senior management builds a wall between itself and lower levels that can impede growth. The organization does not appear to promote from within as much as it prefers to hire senior staff from outside. Sexism is subtle."

"Very friendly with great benefits. Many opportunities in my department for women."

"Great work/life balance and support of further education and family life. The pay is low, but in return you get great benefits, more vacation days than you can use and great coworkers."
