Virginia Tech

"There are great supervisors available at Virginia Tech, really cool people."

"I think it's a great place to work, good climate and culture."

"In my department, women without children were expected to work longer hours and travel more frequently, while married women with children were pressured out of their roles and into administrative positions. Men with children tended to be paid more for the same position (salaries are public) and were promoted more quickly. This is a trend I saw and other women in the department have talked about. I don’t know if it’s university-wide, so research the department salaries before accepting a position. "

"I was a grad student so I don’t have much input"

"While this was once a very male dominated employer, in the past 15 years things have changed dramatically."

"Assistantship stipsends are low, vary a lot by department which can be frustrating "

"I completed a two-year Master's degree with a research assistantship throughout. There are quite a few women in administrative roles and as students. There are also several women in faculty, but women are disproportionately adjunct faculty rather than tenure-track. It seemed like students were treated fairly, but that it would be tough to pursue a PhD or a tenure position in the department."
