It is true that student employees do not participate in the full benefits program but it should be clarified that the benefits program that is offered is quite robust. The vast majority of student employees are here for a finite amount of time. Overall, we attempt to provide students with a real life experience to supplement their academics. We do provide subsidized housing and transportation during the summer. Our plans are consistent with industry and we continue to review options. Thank you for your insights.

It can vary a lot from group to group, but in general, wonderful place with wonderful people and lots of interesting work going on. Excellent benefits and lots of flexibility to explore different projects.
Cons
Little opportunity for advancement in terms of rank and compensation once you reach technical staff. Additionally (again varies from group to group) expectations of what a staff member does can be unclear and there can be a light sink-or-swim nature to the work, again depending on the group you're in.
