Pros

Flexible schedules, respect for ideas that are efficient, reliable, or scale-able. Great, highly technical hands-on management in many areas of IT. Opportunity to learn about and implement cutting edge technologies on many facets of IT: network, server/infrastructure, cloud platforms, & storage/virtualization. An enterprise that runs like you would imagine a school of engineers would. Very little bureaucracy in the Information Systems & Technology area.

Cons

Very few, but a re-org is changing the shape of the IT department (for the better if Agile methodologies are fully implemented) and there are some frustrations as the occurs. Pay is great for higher-education, but still below private/corporate rates.

Pros

High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

Cons

Students and Postdocs are expensive due to high overhead, so unreasonably high productivity is often expected compared to other institutions. PIs are typically stretched very thin. Most departments/labs are very space limited which makes it harder to do safe and productive research.
