Pros

The university has very high standards on research, good laboratories, libraries etc, departments are very strong, the groups are well connected with everyone you need to know in the world of academia. it's a good institution to have on your CV.

Cons

As a postdoc you are basically a ghost. You don't have access to any of the benefits offered to staff and faculty like access to the gym. Only access to the library, that's it.

Pros

co-workers are super nice, friendly and collaborative. Good flexibility in work arrangements. My immediate boss is nice.

Cons

Morale is quite low, and turnover is high. We are losing good people and goals are not being met. Senior Leader tell us to do more with less, and do not want constructive feedback. They don't lead by example, taking elaborate trips instead of being present and supporting staff. Rules don't apply to them. So disappointing, not what you would expect from a public university.
