Pros

Got to study what I love here and get paid a meager salary for it; what's not to love?

Hella hard classes, but you learn a lot.

Pros

Good benefits. Decent work/life balance. "You are as busy as you want to be". Good pension and post-retirement benefits (if you make it). Excellent brand.

Cons

Faculty rule. Professors don't make good Administrators. Average salaries. Anemic raises (2.5%-4%/ year). Second largest endowment and stock market returns in the area (Harvard is first) don't trickle down to employees. Inconsistent WFH policies (do as I say not as I do). Managers side with PIs over staff. All credit/recognition is focused on them rather than their team who really do the work.
