Central European University reviews

Byzantine and mostly opaque management, with faculty that needs to befriend and suck up to power. Weak people in positions of power particularly at administrative levels who are easily controlled because they know they did not get there on merit. Academic staff complained about how nasty and rude a certain person is when negotiation department budgets and administrative staff are often crushed by the lack of promotion opportunities. The place is run like medieval fiefdoms with incompetent and opportunistic people in top positions and a very low morale among regular employees.

- Some faculty members treat me like a servant or a child to be seen and not heard - Staff members often feel undervalued or not appreciated for what we bring to the table
