Pros

Ability to work with academic leaders in your fields. Many of your peers are motivated individuals driven to be the best. The technical support staff are excellent, although the office members are sometimes slow on the uptake.

Cons

Work environment is lacking in basic amenities. Dispersion of groups hinders collaboration. A lack of distinct management and department goals hinders future work.

Pros

UC Davis has law school, med school, biological sciences, engineering, and the school of management and has a great potential. The campus cuisine and promotion of healthy lifestyle practices is to be applauded.

Cons

Resources limited by the select small minded, and academic researchers under faculty could receive stronger support particularly when there may be poor even abusive management by inexperienced faculty. Another challenge is in the transfer of technology into IP, and also recourse when off-center personalities (possibly more frequent in academy over industry) may make bring projects to an impasse.
