Pros

Really flexible access to labs, very engaged and excited faculty, very nice facilities with extreme operating hours.

Cons

It is not a hugely recognizable name, so if you want to go on to teach at a prestigious university or work in a prestigious lab, it might be somewhat limiting.

Pros

Can be pretty easy if most of your work is office hours. I had about seven hours a week and most of the time there weren't many students.

Cons

Grading was a lot harder than I expected. Pretty demoralizing honestly; a lot of clearly ChatGPT submissions (ECE programming class mostly with freshmen who'd never seen code before, so not surprising). Grading paper exams was fine.
