Pros

Vibrant place to work with great energy and heaps of brilliant and inspiring research going on. My department is supportive and we have good camaraderie. I also love working on the UC San Diego campus. Calit2 is well-respected, for good reason, and I'm proud to work here.

Cons

Not many opportunities for advancement; difficult to get a sense for who is working in the building and what they're doing; pay is not comparable to similar positions outside the university (although the benefits are great). Oh, and of course, parking is atrocious.
