Great benefits, but experience depends on department

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits--finish your degree for free, good healthcare, fair leave and pension benefits, great (and cheap!) cultural enrichment available right there on campus, great food if you avoid anything by the on-campus food vendor (which is appallingly bad and incredibly overpriced).

Cons

Some of the departments are quite dysfunctional. Most of the time, this is a supervision issue, because supervisors can't be bothered to actually supervise, and laziness/slacking off/not caring has become ingrained into the culture of many departments, such that it's actually easier to do things yourself (that you are not supposed to do) than get the people who ARE supposed to do them to do them.
