Pros

If you're from the area and want a steady job with benefits, it's good.

Cons

Like many things, don't believe the marketing. Yale is a great place for undergraduate and some graduate training. However, working there was a completely different story. The administrative support systems are antiquated and take years to become functional with. The org culture seems to rely heavily on the "Yale" name, giving lip-service to interest in change, but it's a stodgy, isolated place (note my experience was in the medical center). Without question, this was the worst work experience of my 30-year career.

Pros

Great benefits, lots of opportunities, exciting environment

Cons

In academia, where salaries are generally lower than in the corporate sector, there can be a disproportionate amount of arrogance because many people are motivated by prestige and status rather than financial compensation.
