Pros

Excellent benefits, intelligent coworkers, lots of support available for employees for both work and life issues, large and well-funded enough to allow people in my department to do one job instead of three each.

Cons

Sometimes I secretly wonder if I'm smart enough to be working here! Seriously, though, I haven't yet found any major cons.

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.
