Pros

SFSU helps with all paperwork if you are an international and, in the lab I was working at, if you propose a project you have the freedom to implement it if you come up with a good plan for it.

Cons

Leadership sometimes would not set deadlines or would not encourage the team to go faster. It may not be a cons, but if you want a place where there is a structure with a current roadmap with deadlines and guidance in projects, it may impact you a little.
