      Flexible on personal issues, yet seem to be stuck in the 70's on best business practices

      Pros

      There's a great sense of community at Caltech. Most people have worked here for decades and it all feels like family. They are also willing to work around your personal schedule and telecommuting is easy since all the systems are available from anywhere with a VPN.

      Cons

      Caltech seems to hire a lot of "button-pushers" in the finance and admin functions that don't think for themselves. I haven't figured out yet if this is on purpose or caused by some other problem.

      Pros

      Friendly people that understand work-life balance, so and flexible hours are possible. Lot of independent work opportunities are available, and management of professors or mentors is helpful.

      Cons

      They expect a good amount of work to be done, so that does add onto the pressure of work. You are expected to also have a broad knowledge of many subjects, and sometimes, uncomfortable amount of cross functionality may be required.
