Pros

Pleasant, if snowy, college town.

Cons

Extremely cutthroat political atmosphere, easily the worst I've ever seen. If you don't have tenure, the union is lazy and toothless, completely vowed by the university President, a complete tyrant who will side against faculty.

Pros

The HPC facilities (HPCC, ICER) offer excellent access for research affiliates colpaborating with university researchers, with Slurm job scheduling and a well-managed site-specific wiki.

Cons

Annual account renewal can be a bit bureacratically clunky at times, and the Research Affiliate may have to coordinate with multiple departments and the associated PI if a system update breaks part of a legacy system.
