Pros

Average experience compared to other research 1 institutions. There is an interesting startup culture, though the university tries very hard to own most of the IP. Work schedule is very lose and extremely easy to deal with.

Cons

Academic atmosphere is old-fashioned. The pay is very low, benefits are few, teaching and advising are practically non-existent.
