Pros

The openness, resource and knowledge in such a research and higher-ed institution. All that smart people -- professors and students. Being part of the knowledge-quest keeps you on the edge, and gives you continuous exposure to new developments, young fearless minds. Horns my teaching and performing skills of course. A nice change to a regular full-time R&D job.

Cons

Hardly any career-advancement , since this is a part-time teaching job. Heavy workload considering it's merely an addition to another full-time job. Rather complicated logistics and bureaucracy in the supporting functions.
