Pros

Decent pay, good reputation, beautiful campus

Cons

Lack of training and documented processes. Staff are expected to figure things out without training, every unit does things their own way.

Pros

Your resume may look better although you don't gain as much growth as it looks. Good if you only work there for 1-2 year or so. It is a nice place for a undergraduate

Cons

It is really a undergraduate college. Their research work is not as good as the ranking. They don't encourage independent thinking. Many research staff just repeated what they did since the day one
