Pros
I worked at UC Merced from 2004-2008. Being there for the grand opening, watching the campus grow, and most of all getting to know the pioneering students, were transformative professional experiences. My co-workers were all similarly invested in the campus' success. It was a positive atmosphere with great morale and spirit.
Cons
As with any startup, you have to wear a lot of hats and put in a lot of time and personal energy. This is likely to change somewhat as the campus grows - and that can be both good and bad. In the early days, we missed out on some benefits like having on-campus child care.
