      "There are a lot more women there. However there is no leadership culture. So the women that get to the very top are often the bitchy, jealous bosses and sabotage other women. The current Chancellor has a very poor record of working with women. "

      "UCSD has great benefits and usually great flexibility, but the pay is subpar. You need to have an MD or PhD to really be making it. Management is tough."

      "Excellent opportunities for meaningful work, personal fulfillment, professional growth, and relationship building. Personally, I dedicate more time to work than ideal, but I recognize it may be due to my high-standards. Resources could be more plentiful, but that is understandable in a public sector/non-profit organization. "

      "Overall, I think this is a good place for women to work. However, the university has acknowledged that there are far too few women in leadership roles given the majority of women who are in staff administrative roles. Hopefully this current state of affairs will correct itself with time, but advancing may still be a challenge in some departments."

      "It seems that most departments on campus have reasonably good flexibility, partly because the university has family-friendly policies and partly because space is at a premium, so they seem to encourage flexible hours and telecommuting."
