Pros

Davis is a great little city. The ambiance is great and the people there are really friendly. I enjoyed working on cutting edge research, but found that I had a limited freedom to explore my own projects. Maybe it was just because I was a research associate.

Cons

There's not much to do in the town of Davis. That's a really big downside. You see the same bars and people at them over and over again. Its a real college orientatied town too. The closes big city is Sacramento, which in my opinion is one of the worst large cities in the state. Take what I say with a grain of salt though, who knows you might enjoy it.
