Pros

Working at UCLA gives me access to great mentors, diverse collaborators, and strong research resources that really help me grow.

Cons

Because UCLA is such a large and busy institution, processes can be slow and it sometimes takes extra time to get decisions or approvals.

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.
