Pros

Gorgeous campus, nice, dedicated facilities management staff, solid benefits (if you choose the right health care and dental care!), holidays, vacation time, a few days during the winter break are paid.

Cons

Bottom line, it's a toxic environment - a total plantation. The managers often don't know how to interact with people well and have very little emotional intelligence or humanity so you're dealing with what may appear to be robots a lot of the time. It's disheartening and disturbing. They'll also create certain restrictions for people they don't like with illegal practices. This place seriously lacks ethics. Read the comments on Reddit - they're absolutely spot on.

Extremely innovative environment and great collaborations within the university and beyond
