Pros
Good work-life balance. Variety of project opportunities are available for the right team member.
Cons
The organization has little knowlege of or respect for sound project management tools and methodologies. Projects are managed in Excel or using "to-do" lists. Project management methodology is inconsistent and does not address project dependencies, risks, or issues management. Pay is a good 25% below the industry standards. Also, pay raises are rare. Be sure to negotiate as high a salary as possible because you will fall further behind industry standards every year you work at UCLA. The work ethic of many managers is questionable and hinders project progress. It is not uncommon for managers to leave work every Friday at 12pm.
