      Pros

      The bay area is a great place to work. At Stanford, you can walk, or ride your bike to work everyday. The research here is very good. If you want to do important work, this is one of the few places in the country to do it.

      Cons

      This place is a big pond, and while the people are great, everyone is very individualistic. It is hard to start and maintain collaborations because people are so focused on their own projects.

      Pros

      The weather at best. I can't say much more. It is a great place to go if you are a sociopath that wants to make a lot of money and meet fellow Patrick Bateman types.

      Cons

      A toxic working environment. Situated in a very difficult to navigate suburban environment. Very little social life for young students and professionals. Very little soul. People here are self, rather than group oriented. Corruption is rampant, especially among the professors; famously this even includes our former president.
