Pros

Get to work on cutting edge engineering research that has a direct impact on practical applications. Advisers /PIs have a wealth of knowledge to help guide graduates in the right direction.

Cons

Part time pay is not a lot, but it definitely helps pay the bills (& university fees). Deadlines can drive up the amount of time actually spent to complete projects

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

A colleague was laid off today. She was with UCLA for 10+ years. She got a meeting invite with 10 minutes notice. Her Director read out a cold statement that her position was eliminated and handed her over to the HR. Her manager came running to her cubicle and told her she had 2 minutes to pack up and leave. He insisted that he accompanied her to her car. Many other colleagues had similar or worse experiences. All Managers and Directors and above saved their jobs. And they sacrificed many individual contributors.
