Business outlook
Pros
Large community of students, professors and researchers from multiple disciplines. The medical insurance coverage is one the best in the area. The programs in engineering are within the top-10 in the country. A large portion of my job can be done from home so I typically don't spend too much time in the lab. Managers are very flexible with respect to work hours as long as publications and experiment deadlines are met.
Cons
At times the job can be stressing since we have to meet deadlines with respect to writing articles, submitting grant applications and experimental procedures. However, during the summer the waters are quiet.
