Business Outlook
Pros
Touted as the country's best university, there are certainly many individuals that are brilliant. Its an amazing environment in that respect. The campus is beautiful. If you get to connect with scholars, it is intellectually stimulating. Seeing young people begin their lives here is inspiring.
Cons
Despite being a home for the brilliant, accomplished, and ambitious, it has the same problems any large academic bureaucracy has. Because it is "Princeton," egos abound -- the forthright person may not thrive here -- this depends on the department and how skilled the managers are. If you work in an older building, you may not have a fully comfortable place to work -- again, depends on department.
