Pros

Decent benefits plan, HR makes extra effort to sort out any medical or work issues that may occur.

Cons

Lack of organization and leadership from top management on down. No clear plans on how to achieve goals. Management, with a few notable exceptions, engages in favoritism and petty office politics, actively seeks to sabotage efforts by workers either out of spite or incompetence. Terrible morale is only accentuated by empty efforts on the part of management to bring in "motivational speakers" or forcing workers to engage in time and resource-wasting "group activities" that are allegedly team-building but are scheduled in such a way as to interfere with important events or daily work activities. In short, again, with few notable exceptions, workers were constantly set up for failure.

Pros

Great location, and outdoors. Lot of eateries and fun events.

Cons

The administration is very opaque. It really depends where you end up working. The electrical engineering department is one of the worst places to be. Crowded with self-serving professors, the grad students have no choice but to quit their programs without a degree after putting in several years. The grievance addressal system favors professors and is managed by a cozy club of corrupt academics. 10-year graduate degrees are very common
