Pros

I have learned an amazing amount about controls, fabrication, and real world engineering. The mission of the lab is very cool and tip of the spear on the low flow turbocharger side of things.

Cons

The high flow mission seems to be at the end of it's road. It will be interesting to see how the lab changes it's focus to something current in the natural gas industry. The leadership is pretty minimal as well. With one guy running both the operations and personnel, something has to be half done well.

Pros

- fantastic leave! PTO, Sick, Holiday, maternity - amazing people and students. Ranked high for friendliest students for a reason - tuition assistance for one place semester if you're continuing education - once your foot is in the door, potential to use internal connection to move up within the university

Cons

- pay could be more competitive but makes up for it somewhat in leave - top heavy administration, former leadership made uprooting changes and didn't see the change through; left university scrambling - resistance to change causes siloes. - structural fiscal issues that doesn't work well for interdisciplinary, collaborative work - great coworkers move up the university or leave and don't stay long
