Pros

Good salary, good benefits, HHMI doesn't bother you much

Cons

Your experience is entirely dependent upon the lab you are in - could be a pro or con. This is true for postdoc roles in general.

Pros

You're working on contributing to cutting edge & advanced biomedical research with world leaders.

Compensation is regularly divorced from what your workload and scope of responsibilities looks like, and does not scale accordingly.
