Pros

Great benefits. Prestigious university to be part of

Cons

I worked with some good people but overall it was toxic. There are bad apples who have been allowed to stay for years. There is not a ton of opportunity for growth so you either have people who are super mission drive (and burning out) or lazy / just coaster. The coasters are who stay for years.
