Pros

Active in different areas of engineering with lots of up to date lectures, seminars and talks. Great relation with industry with often sessions to introduce world leading companies along with per quarter career fairs for finding new internship or job opportunities.

Cons

not quiet easy to get in to it as there is a high competition for that.

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

A colleague was laid off today. She was with UCLA for 10+ years. She got a meeting invite with 10 minutes notice. Her Director read out a cold statement that her position was eliminated and handed her over to the HR. Her manager came running to her cubicle and told her she had 2 minutes to pack up and leave. He insisted that he accompanied her to her car. Many other colleagues had similar or worse experiences. All Managers and Directors and above saved their jobs. And they sacrificed many individual contributors.
