Business outlook
Pros
Purdue University is a great place to work because Purdue prides itself on being at the cutting edge of technology and invests a lot of money in new technologies. The new nanotechnology center at Purdue provides a lot of room for career growth at the University. Due to this investment in technology there is a lot of outside research money coming into Purdue, providing for advanced equipment and interesting research topics.
Cons
The compensation is low compared to comparable sized universities. The location of Purdue University is another downside. West Lafayette isn't exactly a cultural mecca, however it is only an hour drive to Indianapolis. A plus to living in West Lafayette is that it has a low cost of living.
