      Don't expect anyone to make a decision. Ever.

      Pros

      It's managed like a bunch of different companies, and each has its own cultural differences. It's fairly easy to move from one part to another. Work/life balance can be good, depending on where you are. Benefits are decent; time off especially good.

      Cons

      Little opportunity for career advancement. Low pay. Micro management is very common, as are faculty with over-sized egos.

      Pros

      Excellent place to work with excellent people.

      Cons

      Not that many. Could be intimidating if you don't have a science background.

      Challenging and satisfying student job

      Pros

      Decent salary, friendly coworkers, good location on campus by the bus station, nice working culture, feel like contributing to great project. Chance for raises. Weekly meetings help the programming group stay organized, and are usually well attended. Development is done with CakePHP with an Oracle database back end. Small group of programmers working on projects.

      Cons

      Gets lonely working alone in cubicle when other student employee is not there. Software development system can be frustrating to learn at first. The campus it is on (MSU) can get crowded at times, and as a student it is challenging to budget my time as a computer science student and part time employee.
