Pros

Huge wealth of resources, amazing people, a place unlike any other in the world. Really the premier university for higher learning in the world.

Cons

No serious communication between upper management and regular workers. Also, no real room for growth within. Most admins are externally hired, and don't always understand

Pros

Incredibly egalitarian by pretty much any measure, at least in terms of aims and commitments. Very good benefits, including unusually good 401k matching. And, of course, just the sense of pride and the stimulating environment that comes with working at one of the world's most respected institutions.

Cons

Could be more accomodating of flexible time and sometimes work from home for those whose jobs would permit.
