Pros

Yale provides a wide range of employment opportunities. I was looking for a place to gain some more experience before moving on to graduate school, and the lab I worked in fulfilled my expectations.

Cons

Don't expect to be integrated into the community if you're only here as a research assistant. The professors (especially those without tenure) seem stressed out, and can be inaccessible.

Pros

Great benefits, lots of opportunities, exciting environment

Cons

In academia, where salaries are generally lower than in the corporate sector, there can be a disproportionate amount of arrogance because many people are motivated by prestige and status rather than financial compensation.
