Pros

It has great facilities to do research. Students are also very good in general, especially the graduate students. The student body and also the staff is quite diverse. And off course the weather is great. Snow is rare, so you do not have to clean your car every winter. The institute supports greatly student and staff travel. The reimbursement is at par with the professor level even for graduate student. That is quite generous. No need of receipts for meals etc.

Cons

Some of the support stuff are incompetent. The institute is not very student fiendly. It is more friendly to the institute employee.

Pros

Great Benefits. That was it

Cons

The pay is egregiously bad. My boss would commonly talk about how teachers are underpaid while unaware that teachers actually make more than financial analysts at Georgia Tech. They have also recently instituted a return to work policy that requires all staff to be back on site 5 days a week. This has led to a lot of turnover and hiring has not kept up from what I've seen leading to overworked employees. In my 2.5 years at tech I realized that the vast majority of people are just trying to run out the clock so they can cash their pension in. This leads to very few motivated workers and it is an easy trap to fall into. Little financial incentives to progress. No end of year bonuses, little annual raises if any at all, and no senior analyst roles mean there are few financial incentives to "try". When I started they had analyst levels 1 through 3 but that abolished and everyone was put under the title of analyst. Overall I would not recommend to anyone unless you are a student looking for expirence.
