Pros

Brilliant students, wonderful colleagues, great location, excellent benefits and you never get bored because there is so much going on.

Cons

Some of the elevators are really, really slow. And though most of the buildings are connected on the Infinite, the campus is spreading out so that you actually have to put your coat on sometimes to go see colleagues.
