Pros

New leadership is making sound decisions and trying to right the ship. Trying to improve DEI in face of Nassar scandal. Friendly work environment. Many units have good staff culture. Great health and PTO benefits with supportive staff unions.

Cons

Racism and sexism are present in ways you wouldn't expect. Some units shun this mentality while others foster it, including at the leadership level. Salary isn't commensurate with other industry levels.

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.
