Vantaggi

Flexibility with schedule, hybrid work, working with students, and being part of exciting, innovative projects. Grandfathered into pension plan, good benefits and sick/vacation accrual for senior employees. Beautiful campus, strong reputation and alumni network.

Svantaggi

mediocre pay, arbitrary "equity" salary increases, and difficult to advance your career unless you're in a technical title. sooooo much red tape and complex policy, everything is an exception to the rule and is time consuming and frustrating to resolve given the behemoth bureaucracy. Traffic and parking fees are ridiculous, borderline intolerable, but no choice...

None that I can think of

Svantaggi

A colleague was laid off today. She was with UCLA for 10+ years. She got a meeting invite with 10 minutes notice. Her Director read out a cold statement that her position was eliminated and handed her over to the HR. Her manager came running to her cubicle and told her she had 2 minutes to pack up and leave. He insisted that he accompanied her to her car. Many other colleagues had similar or worse experiences. All Managers and Directors and above saved their jobs. And they sacrificed many individual contributors.
