Pros

students are great. Colleagues smart and friendly. Good place to do research.

Cons

University management is poor. bad communication. Often decisions appear to be on a whim by univeristy leadership. Personality, rather than regulations. Lack of transparency in salaries, decision making etc. all this won't impact you though if you just want to go and teach which is fun as its a good student body.

Pros

- amazing collegiality - friendly atmosphere - openness among colleagues - intellectually very stimulating environment

Cons

- lack of transparency from senior management - lack of career development opportunities - slow approval processes in finance and HR - salaries are low compared to required skills - huge gap between Hungarian nationalities' and Americans' salaries It would be great to reorganize top management and leadership to make decision-making more transparent and involve administrative staff more in decisions that affect the whole community of CEU. Also, there's a clear disconnect between leadership and staff. At the moment, leadership does not reward employee efforts and contribution in a fair way.
