University of Southern California Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I joined the USC Consulting Group organization and hit the ground running immediately with little to no training so it was the proverbial "drinking from the firehose" situation. The experienced co-workers expected me to know exactly what they were doing rather than share their knowledge so getting up to speed took extra effort. The position overall was rewarding to work closely with clients, to make positive changes, to be that horsepower to help make the changes and watch the success."

"Great place to work. Great culture, research, and benefits. Highly recommended for PhD researchers, postdocs, and undergraduate students."

"I worked at USC for 30 years. I worked from a NOC Shift Supervisor to a Network Engineer to a Field Service Engineer"

"I've been working for CS department of USC Viterbi School of Engineer since August 2019. I found this is a really challenging and fun job. I helped hundreds of students in both on-campus and online office hours and I really enjoyed it."

"Was satisfied working here"

"USC has a lot to offer for those interested in a large university atmosphere with strengths in professional programs. My first few years there were excellent. However, it has developed an overbearing top-down control structure that is exceptionally toxic. This seems to be a reaction to recent serious legal exposures created by high profile lawsuits. In time, it may become a welcoming place to work once again. For now, I recommend caution."

"Great company and managed by great upper management that makes everyone happy and comfortable."

"For 2020/2021 USC is planning to spend 7.5% of it's 2 Billion dollar budget on lawyer fees. At the same time, they are planning to furlough two weeks of all staff and faculty salaries."

"I've worked for USC for almost 5 years. We get great benefits and people overall are respected. the pay could be better but you can get discounts on education for the employee or their children if you work there long enough."

"I have worked for USC for over 10 years and love the working environment here. It is a big organization and each school can have a different experience. I have worked with a lot of departments and found most of them to be pretty professional with good support for their employees."
