Good benefit package. Friendly environment. Interactions with motivated individuals, performing state of the art research. Innovative environment, with opportunity to grow.

Research on the engineering department lacks the funds that other universities can provide. It should be targeted to industry practices.

Pros

Very motivating work environment. Made for a learning environment which served as a stepping stone for landing a future job.

Cons

Some of the professors are very disconcerting at times and will give you absolutely no time of day. Others will give the world for you so it's basically who you know.
