WPI has a state-of-the-art infrastructure with complementary partnerships and external funding to greatly enhance the postdoc experience.

Cons

Worcester itself is not the nicest of areas and can be off-putting for those not accustomed to a more industrialized setting.

Pros

Can be pretty easy if most of your work is office hours. I had about seven hours a week and most of the time there weren't many students.

Cons

Grading was a lot harder than I expected. Pretty demoralizing honestly; a lot of clearly ChatGPT submissions (ECE programming class mostly with freshmen who'd never seen code before, so not surprising). Grading paper exams was fine.
