Beautiful buildings, great benefits, Mission you can get behind, Lots of Fun Events and Speakers Pre-Covid

Cons

Toxic Culture, wasteful spending, ineffective leadership, not as diverse as they like to tell the public they are, little career mobility. Want a "yes man" mentality - if you aren't that, you are deemed difficult.
