Pros

Flexibility of scheduling, extremely good management interaction, excellent people and co-workers, great benefits, reasonably compensation, excellent hiring practices, terrific environment

Cons

It is a bit tough to advance within certain departments; if you are employed within a scientific department, you may be locked to a single position, and advancing will mean leaving.

Pros

You will make great connections with industry (professors and other grad students starting their own companies left and right). Beautiful weather and a lot of research money floating around.

Cons

Palo Alto is a boring and expensive place to live. You need a car and a fair amount of money.
