Pros

Modern, secure offices. Newest technology is often deployed rapidly. Mostly smart people working in IT. Laid back environment.

Cons

Poorly managed. Titles are handed out like M&M's and often not earned. Policies, procedures, standards are lacking. IT is a pushover for this business, in this case Yale faculty. The lack of adherence to IT best practices often puts unnecessary pressure on IT. Work from home non-existent.

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.
