      Pros

      Excellent R1 university that provides essentially anything you could hope for in terms of accessibility to instrumentation, techniques and collaborators. It is a well known school, meaning recruiters come for on-site interviews. Also, it tends to be one of five main schools most large companies recruit from (from what I've seen). Depending on the area of research and your own accomplishments, Purdue can really catapult you into a very nice and prestigious position in academia, industry or national labs.

      Cons

      There is very little to do around town and the winters are terrible.

      Pros

      Decent benefits, relaxed atmosphere, and interesting projects. Working with professors and students can be exciting and rewarding. The work-life balance is excellent with minimal overtime and a generous vacation policy.

      Cons

      Anyone other than tenured faculty are treated poorly. Base salary is low for comparable industrial positions, but benefits used to make up the balance. That is no longer the case. Many professors consider staff to be little more than useful furniture. Things that would get a person fired in industry are swept under the rug (if they are faculty). There is ineffective and incompetent management at the Dean and Department Head levels.
