      Pros

      Lots of exciting science happening on campus. The career center here is top-notch. Lots of high-caliber speakers from academia and industry speaking about topics ranging from science to career development.

      Cons

      Things can be a bit decentralized. You have to find your way to get noticed about upcoming seminars. If you are a student or postdoc, make sure you register with the excellent career center to get info about their events.

      Pros

      - Passionate, vibrant community - Many fun and engaging opportunities on campus - Beautiful work surroundings - Flexible schedule in comparison to private sector - Lots of vacation/pto time - Overall high quality of co-workers

      Cons

      - There is high turnover in my department as the staff salaries are not competitive enough to keep highly qualified people around. Also, there seems to be quite a few high level management and many lower level administrators, but not enough mid-level positions available. This makes it much more challenging to promote from within and many coworkers leave to other departments for professional growth.
