Pros

Good facilities and good funding generally available. You are surrounded by top people in the field and you have lots of opportunities to learn.

Cons

Expected to work long hours, six days a week, with unclear expectations and little support for management. Have to be very self-motivated.

Pros

Lots of smart people! Great place to learn from, being in NYC is a big plus!

Cons

None, just starting out! NYC is expensive, maybe subsidizing the subway commute would help.

They have a lot of resources, the campus is pretty, the students are engaged

Cons

They censor your political speech, punish you for activism, and have been known to call the NYPD to commit police brutality on campus
