Pros

Fantastic salary and benefits packages relative to the market, great working atmosphere (friendly colleagues, understanding employers).

Cons

The location is not easy to get to via train/public transportation. The University subsidizes public transportation, which is great, but it doesn't cut down on commute time. Also, the parking lot at the train station has a multi-year long waiting list.

Pros

benefits, vacation, sick days, personal days, and etc. 401k, tuition reimbursement, etc etc

Cons

Human Resources seem not be neutral anymore and heavily favor management on all aspects. Benefits can be bit better for the price the employee is paying. Really hard to advance in certain departments, favoritism and nepotism is slightly rampant.
