Pros

The professors were amazing, especially my advisor

Cons

The department I worked for had very little money so we had to pay for all our own travel expenses for conferences which are semi-required if you want to do a successful phd

Pros

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Cons

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.
