      All the challenges and rewards of working at a startup. Tremendously demanding and fulfilling.

      Pros

      I worked at UC Merced from 2004-2008. Being there for the grand opening, watching the campus grow, and most of all getting to know the pioneering students, were transformative professional experiences. My co-workers were all similarly invested in the campus' success. It was a positive atmosphere with great morale and spirit.

      Cons

      As with any startup, you have to wear a lot of hats and put in a lot of time and personal energy. This is likely to change somewhat as the campus grows - and that can be both good and bad. In the early days, we missed out on some benefits like having on-campus child care.

      Pros

      You can get a lot of quality time with professors. The number of students is fairly low and this creates a high professor per student ratio. This is one of the biggest advantage of this university.

      Cons

      The city of Merced is one of the worst in USA. It is really hard to find sophiscticated people in the city. The university environment is the only saved place in the city. Since the university is very new, the rules, the culture are not totally established yet. This can sometimes be frustrating.
