Pros

Great courses, excellent reputation in the job market

Cons

Cold weather, long winters, small town

Pros

Aside from having access to one the best selection of publications I know of, the University of Michigan provides an amazing environment to develop one's career after grad school. I transitioned from wanting a research track professor position after my postdoc to wanting to go into industry. I've had nothing but positivity and support from the faculty here. The staff are also top-notch and support our teaching and outreach missions very well.

Cons

The winters in Ann Arbor can be pretty brutal. Cost of living is high in Ann Arbor, but I feel like I'm generally paid enough.

Pros

Amazing atmosphere Professional staff members

Cons

Long hours Cold winters

Pros

Large university environment, great campus, Ann Arbor is a nice city too.

Cons

It is a college town/environment, and has very cold and long winters.

Pros

Great faculty and staff, beautiful and small city, numerous funding opportunities, good benefits

Cons

Winters can be harsh for those that are unaccustomed to the midwest. Ann arbor is lovely, but it very much feels like a college integrated with a small town. This isn't a con for all, but I feel that it's easy to outgrow such a place.
