"I've been studying my PhD for 5 years in UW-Madison. Just can say, the best university in the World. My advisor is super nice and very helpful. The equipment that I have access to is awesome, strong computers, large library with access to journals, and very beautiful natural environment next to a lake, all make UW-Madison one of the best in the world. The optimization group in Wisconsin Institute for Discovery is a mix of experts from different areas of optimization."

Assistant Professor

"I have not worked at such a dysfunctional place. They put the Malcom Baldridge award on my card in 2010 but it was received fifteen years earlier, that should speak tons. There is no support for individual work and you can not move forward unless you praise the administration. Years of service count as skill there. You change something because you know better, you will be in trouble immediately. It is an abrasive environment where older staff will take every effort to set you in trouble."

Web Application Developer

"The public sector is notorious for paying less than the private sector and this department is no exception. They seem to have huge budgets for technology yet paradoxically wish to pay the bare minimum to their employees. Further, they have non-technical supervisors who do not understand what you're doing, regardless of how you try to explain it."

"I've worked as a student employee for the University of Wisconsin - Madison for four years. On the plus side, the University's offices and other work settings are great; even as a student employee I got my own large office. However, the compensation is not always as high as would be ideal."
