      Pros

      - Campus is a nice place to work with easy access to downtown PA using the free shuttle. - Benefits are good especially the 403b match - Access to new technology - In my role, I was able to pick the projects I wanted to work on which gave me a lot of flexibility.

      Cons

      - Big corporate like environment with red tape to get things approved. - Parking is horrendous and costs a lot of money for the close spots - Not much room to give company bonuses or other perks.

      Great university, but personal experience greatly varies based on advisor

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Very smart people, including world renowned professors - Cutting-edge research projects - Experience from Stanford is perceived well in the industry

      Cons

      - Too much power in the hands of research advisor, to the extent that he can keep you working for 2-3 years more than necessary to give you a Ph.D. - Limited collaboration between professors. Most of them are stars, and hence don't work well together
