Pros

Noble goals; good food

Cons

Never go work for someone who has lifelong tenure at the school which game him $30m to spend. Absent a few good souls, pathetically mismanaged by mindless sycophants, SaaS product clones with no experience in education, and unbridled intolerant software engineers who earnestly write clayton christenson quotes on the glass walls in conference rooms. And these are not ever the faculty.
