Pros

Good medical / dental / vision / pregnanc insurance. Help researchers to express ideas more clear.

Cons

PSU Electrical Engineering department is dropping. Hard to get fundings and more researchers needed to work on TAship, and hence produce less research results.

Pros

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Cons

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.

Pros

flexibility. I'm on a fellowship I won with a great advisor. It is not so good for others.

Cons

An inherently liminal position with severely reduced benefits.
