Total lack of vision, management is just professional managers - do not create, inspire, lead - just check boxes.

Pros

Lack of accountibility if you're in upper management. Many perks if you're in upper management. Good benefits if you're in upper management.

Cons

Finances controlled by State government. There is no longer any pension system, per se. No accountibility. Must have a PhD to be a Project Manager. Have to be a Project Manager to submit grant proposals. You're responsible for your research funding & the funding of any support staff needed. This all excludes upper management, HR personnel, IT staff, they're all hard funded.
