Pros

Top-notch faculty, excellent students, good facilities, constructive co-workers

Cons

The university's focus is on undergraduate education. As a graduate student / postdoc, you don't feel like first-class citizens. CS/Engineering not as strong as some other ivy league universities or top universities in California.

Pros

If you put in two or three years here, you will have Yale on your resume for the rest of your life. It is worth a lot and will always open doors.

Cons

It is geographically isolated and you have to be able to stand the highly competitive and sometimes paranoid atmosphere in order to get through the day.
