Pros

Working as a researcher at UCLA comes with the many pros of working at a premiere academic institution: work day flexibility, autonomy, access to state of the art instruments, smart colleagues, etc. My faculty advisor is great. He is a true mentor and an amazing scientist.

Cons

As a graduate student, you are very dependent on your department staff administration to get paid on time, etc. My department has a number of staff that are not good at their job and do not process paperwork on time or give you incorrect information. This has been one of my biggest frustrations. If you get hired into a department that has competent staff, I would say UCLA is a fantastic place to work.
