Pros

The work is interesting and can be challenging if you want it to be. There are plenty of opportunities for advancement and ample training to assist one in getting ahead. Flexible work situations can be found to accommodate working parents, caregivers, and commuters. The use of public transportation is encouraged and supported with free emergency rides and 3 free parking passes a month. The community offers an array of interesting activities including lectures, museums, concerts, and great people.

Cons

Managerial staff has been required to take on the largest burden of cost savings over the last five years with minimal raises, decreased benefits and increased workloads.

Pros

Top-notch accessible faculty, excellent research environment. A very positive experience overall in pursuing my PhD. Highly recommended.

Cons

New Haven location is all right, but occasionally a little sketchy at night. Sometimes funding is a little hard to come by; everyone seems to spend too much time obtaining grants.
