Pros

Excellent university, Great benefits, Superb facilities and the Location could not be any better.

Cons

Individual professor may or may not be as good as you hope. Make proper inquiry to see if the professor is good or bad before joining anyone.

Pros

Great benefits, pleasant environment (mostly), continuing education. If you are interested in continuing your education then VT is a great place to work as they will waive your tuition as long as the coursework benefits the current role you are working in.

Cons

For IT folks it can be difficult to get raises. VT has lost a lot of talent simply because they pay their engineering personnel much less than what they can typically get in the private sector. Of course, health benefits and pleasant work environment often help compensate for this. You have to know what you're getting. If environment, stability, health insurance, etc. are important then VT is probably good for you. If you are looking to maximize your salary then I'd go elsewhere.

Pros

Beautiful town for study and living, good place to study. The living cost is relatively low. Bus brings you over the whole town conveniently. Nice and active people you will meet here. Compensation is normal, not better not worse though. Football events makes the town crowed but it is good experience.

Cons

It is very cold at winter time. A little bit not that convenient for shopping. The research press is a little bit high. The entertainment activity is relatively not that convenient, for example, you need to drive to another close city for shopping or watching movie.
