Pros

Brilliant and thoughtful people doing interesting research Culture is wonderful in theory, if a bit insane in practice Beautiful campus Good money and benefits (hence the trap)

Cons

It's very hard to escape once here. The non-compete agreement you have to sign is brutal, and you'll have no transferrable skills in other companies. Culture is not conducive to diversity. Senior people can be very condescending and mean. Extremely slow advancement opportunities. Depression/aimlessness is very common because very few people do work that actually matters to the company.
