      Pros

      Great environment. Great people to work with. Pasadena is a wonderful place to live. It is within a driving distance to Los Angeles(around 30 minutes), Santa Monica(45~50 minutes) and few other places.

      Cons

      Quiet. Not so much in the social scene. Most of the people around you will be scientists/engineers. If you look for a more diverse group of people, you might get thoroughly disappointed.

      Pros

      Great architecture and lovely grounds

      Cons

      There is a fair amount of it must be invented here mentality, which makes sense for research but is enormously ineffective for administration of a relatively small institution. There is a lot of stress and pressure on the employees, and entrenched employees with serious HR issues.
