RPI is a good institution, but grad life there is difficult - Graduate Research Assistant bei Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Very flexible around school hours

It was capped out very low

The medical insurance was great. It was a custom plan with low co-pays and no deductible. I worked with some amazing people and learned a lot about my field. This position allowed me to travel all over the country and internationally. We were given the week between Christmas and New Year's off. The best part of the job was interacting with students, meeting them and helping them. We had a pretty lenient work from home policy too.

HR does not actually care about the employees. My boss set me up for failure. The school still thinks it is a top 25 university. They are not looking to the future and are stuck. Even with the the new president of the university is backward thinking and rarely talks to employees.
