Pros

the people...smart, competent, interesting. Lots of opportunity to advance and reasonably meritocratic. Educated people, cool working environment. I'm very proud to be an alum.

Cons

Can be a little bureaucratic and political - flip-side of the same coin...the culture that makes it so desirable can be stifling at times
