Pros

Working on cutting edge technology. Looks really good on a resume. Access to lots of employee benefits to include cell phone discounts and commuter discounts.

Cons

Maybe it's just the place that I work but I am grossly underpaid. That being said my review is coming up in a few months and I plan on letting them know how the rest of the community is being paid.

Pros

High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

Cons

Students and Postdocs are expensive due to high overhead, so unreasonably high productivity is often expected compared to other institutions. PIs are typically stretched very thin. Most departments/labs are very space limited which makes it harder to do safe and productive research.
