Pros

Beautiful campus. Excellent training options. Occasionally free food.

Cons

Wages way below market rate. Lack of bonuses. No mobility or option to work your way to a livable wage. Stuck in bureaucratic loops that make it impossible to take advantage of "employee perks."

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.
