Pros

Flexibility, great people, have learned a great deal, reliable colleagues and employers you can count on. Really a great place!

Cons

I worked for about a year at UCLA before I became a student doing the PhD program. The only con is that the PhD program takes a long time after which job opportunities are uncertain.
