Pros

Great benefits (tuition for self, spouse, and children), large organization with room for movement and growth. Employees are surrounded by and often work closely with scholars who are thought leaders in their field.

Cons

Low morale in many departments. Senior management often perceived to be looking out only for themselves and their friends. Bureaucratic.

Pros

The work when I had it was amazing, I really appreciated it for what it gave me.

Cons

Unfortunately, with the change in management came zero transparency and rules for thee, not for me. It's led to really weird decisions.
