Pros

Wonderful atmosphere, excellent benefits, appealing culture and environment as well as many services to take advantage of. Smart people, without a strong emphasis on profit.

Cons

Large bureaucracy at times, which can be slow to act. Authority from the top can seem distant or aimless. Lower salary than private sector.

Pros

You get to work for the brightest minds; intellectually challenging environment; research facilties are superb. Having a Yale stamp on your resume pays dividends in the long run. Career options after Yale are also great. The career services office helps out students a lot by inviting top notch companies for recruitment.

Cons

New Haven is not a great town, it gets boring at times. Every so often there is a mugging incident, even in nicer neighborhoods. Winters can be bad and can get very depressing. The health plan offered to graduate students is not so flexible. University housing for graduate students is also limited.
