Pros

- Awesome campus, great extracurricular opportunities - Fun people, low stress and low expectations (if low expectations are your thing) - Essentially, something of a government job / employment for life feel

Cons

- Low expectations of IT workers and IT services. Outages are common as is poor performance from co-workers - Your co-workers will be under qualified for their position - Utilizing new technology or process is deemed a hindrance as it would impact the established level of performance and effort required to provide current services - Politics and philosophy may guide decision making, rank and file employees input will not be considered

Pros

The weather at best. I can't say much more. It is a great place to go if you are a sociopath that wants to make a lot of money and meet fellow Patrick Bateman types.

Cons

A toxic working environment. Situated in a very difficult to navigate suburban environment. Very little social life for young students and professionals. Very little soul. People here are self, rather than group oriented. Corruption is rampant, especially among the professors; famously this even includes our former president.
