Pros

Wonderful colleagues and large resources for research.

Cons

The administration is often devious, finding ways to make a buck are often more important than the goal. Top heavy administration. Make rules that they themselves refuse to follow. (to short for examples here)

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.
