Pros

My supervisor is friendly and approachable. My fellow employees are welcoming, even to someone just entering the system. My fellow employees and supervisor are helpful, and offer both praise and constructive criticism. Performance reviews are not painful, and are interactive between the supervisor and employee versus just being handed down from on high.

Cons

It doesn't quite feel like a real job because we're on campus and working with other students. It is difficult to be overdressed for class but appropriately dressed for work, especially with summer approaching rapidly.

Pros

Being affiliated with the noble cause of higher education. There are tangible rewards when you see the impact you can have on students.

Cons

The university in its quest to become so large has made the learning experience a difficult one for faculty, staff and students. The campus is crowded. As result, peforming the basics of your job (i.e. research, teaching, administration) take on a complexity that isn't present at smaller campuses.

Pros

Biodesign is a good place to work at. Lots of opportunities for bio- related research. The place is new and all fresh, with new possibilities on the horizon for new areas of research and development. For the chemists, there are some good professors to work with.

Cons

The school is not highly ranked among others in chemistry and life sciences although its no 5 in number of articles published in top journals like Nature and Science. Moreover, I think George Poste was an outstanding leader for Biodesign Inst. for the last 5 years but is now moving on for another position within ASU, posing a slow down for the extreme growth he led through the last few years.
