Pros

A large and stable employer with great benefits. Very little overtime or work outside of regular business hours. Being part of UC's mission can be more rewarding than typical jobs.

Cons

Probably not the best place for ambitious, type A's. Can be a unique environment, and difficult for some people to adjust to. A lot of things being done a certain for the sole reason that they've always been done that way

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

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.
