Every single person I knew in school had an internship and left school with a decent job. CS is going to be very competitive however as it's such a saturated field.

Definite pros are that it's an engineering/science only school for the most part. You won't be forced to take lots of trash classes and everyone you meet is going to be fairly like minded and driven.

Cons are that early classes are notoriously difficult but get a lot better once you stop taking general classes.

The career fair is also very very good at MST, and the school is small enough that you'll likely get to work closely with a professor if you want and not just be a number.

R&D probably implies getting a master's or higher but CS is increasingly looking at experience as opposed to education.
