Pluspunten

WPI is one of the ,pst generous schools around when it comes to adjunct and instructor pay. Professors have a great deal of autonomy in designing their classes. Fantastic colleagues and really smart and capable students. Great benefits (downside is pay, see below)

Minpunten

Lack of prerequisites (school policy) means that you sometimes get ill prepared students. The down-side of professor autonomy is that the programs can be a bit disjoint. All the usual things about academia lagging industry and the usual mixed-message frustration of any large organization be it academic or industry. Even at WPIs unusually generous level, its pretty hard to support a middle class family on just what one instructor makes.

Pluspunten

Can be pretty easy if most of your work is office hours. I had about seven hours a week and most of the time there weren't many students.

Minpunten

Grading was a lot harder than I expected. Pretty demoralizing honestly; a lot of clearly ChatGPT submissions (ECE programming class mostly with freshmen who'd never seen code before, so not surprising). Grading paper exams was fine.
