      Pros

      Great PI relationship and supportive staff. I received a lot of help from other researchers, it has a real sense of community.

      Cons

      Could be a little bit political in the higher ranking faculties Extremely long hours, including weekend work but I knew that going in, just never realized how extensive it is.

      Pros

      None that I can think of

      Cons

      A colleague was laid off today. She was with UCLA for 10+ years. She got a meeting invite with 10 minutes notice. Her Director read out a cold statement that her position was eliminated and handed her over to the HR. Her manager came running to her cubicle and told her she had 2 minutes to pack up and leave. He insisted that he accompanied her to her car. Many other colleagues had similar or worse experiences. All Managers and Directors and above saved their jobs. And they sacrificed many individual contributors.
