Pros

The benefits here are more competitive than most equivalent private sector jobs, to offset the less generous salary. As with any university setting though, it can be very bureaucratic and slow to progress.

Cons

• pay is lower than private sector • job can be dull and without challenge • somewhat inconvenient location depending on where you live

Pros

If you a PhD student, you never have to worry about money or funding. Professors have a lot of funding for different research projects.

Cons

The EE department/professors are not very supportive of the PhD students. Most of them are not typically patient with students if they are taking their time with projects. They replace them with new students.
