Pros

In central New Jersey. Office is new and nice location. Good pay. If you negotiate you get higher grade.

Cons

Tuition reimbursement benefits are bad. Insurance (LTD) is not that great. Bullying boss and unethical DBA team.

Pros

I am in one of the physical sciences. Princeton has top-notch people and resources that make research life exciting and interesting.

Cons

While work-life balance is good (depending on your advisor - mine is good), there is not much nearby to do for fun for a grad student. Most of us go to NY, New Brunswick, or Philly for fun. A car is very helpful.

Pros

- Excellent academic atmosphere, with lots of exciting and impactful research - Research facilities, equipment, and resources are top of the line - Beautiful campus and surrounding area - NYC is ~1 hour train ride away

Cons

- The town is quite small, so it is easy to get a little stir crazy if you don't have a car - Campus and town are over-run by high school campers during the summer
