Pros

Good collaboration. Prestigious place to work..

Cons

Old people don't leave thereby not allowing career progression so good employees leave. Managers and faculty who verbally abuse employees are not held accountable. The university makes excuses for them. Old timers are blocking the careers of many others below them. Pay is terrible. No innovation except with students.
