      An okay place to be a life sciences graduate student

      Graduate student researcher

      Pros

      Top-notch research going on, if you are looking to be a top-notch researcher it's one of the best places in southern california. There is a new push on campus to help STEM graduate students with alternative career choices, but help is fairly thin on career planning front (unless of course you want to be a top-notch researcher).

      Cons

      Graduate student culture is nonexistent. Performing work for research mentor is more important than personal education.

      Pros

      Working in the IT department, there are some opportunities for growth, but you have to really make that decision for yourself. The work itself isn't extremely challenging since it's mostly customer service. Because of that emphasis, there's less technical skill required and more intrapersonal skills. It's a great place to start though. It's also nice to work on a campus because there's always things going on around.

      Cons

      Depending on your supervisors, there's always the possibility of micromanagement. The culture is probably different depending on which department or area you end up working for. Salary is probably on the lower end, despite the benefits, and because most of the staff are made up of UCLA graduates, it's not as easy to work your way up as other public sector jobs.
