Pros

Very good atmosphere to accomplish research goals, with many advisers willing to help with ideas on projects and help complete projects to move students forward.

Cons

The biggest downside to working at Purdue is the amount of work needed to change or adapt an idea to improve the University.

Pros

Academic environment, some of the top brains in the country, international diverse student and professor body, if you get good managers, they allow flexibility in working hours

Cons

Purdue University has been slowly declining in most rankings like Businessweek and US news. West Lafayette weather is harsh and landscape monotonous, nothing but cornfields
