Pros

Amazing people & great benefits. I've been there for 15 years in a variety of positions, and I've love working there.

Cons

For my field, the salary isn't competitive. I'd love to stay, but I can make so much more money elsewhere. That said, the benefits are worth a lot!

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.
