Pros

The teams and other employees you work with, for the most part, are enthusiastic about their work and jobs. The university is a community unto itself and offers almost everything you'd expect to find in a small town but with a significant international/melting-pot atmosphere. During the late spring semester, for instance, there's a farmer's market outside one of the libraries. Student groups offer movies that range from Hollywood to small art films. The new president's "UB2020" vision promises to raise the university to a higher level.

Cons

Management is largely reactive and slow to adopt change. Management style is "old school": very much top-down, worker-bee. There doesn't seem to be a lot of respect for in-house expertise/talent; the vast majority of solutions are consultant or vendor delivered.
