Flexibility of hours, great people, awesome community and location. Training opportunities are immense and you have a great opportunity to network. If you are a student interested in a start up this is the best place to do it in the academic setting.

Cons

Georgia Tech has an abundance of funding in some areas yet lacks the necessary funds to complete some fundamental tasks. The pay could be better but overall a great place to work.
