Pros

Cutting-edge science, good resources, newest technology, nice location, new facilities.

Cons

I worked in a small group. Honestly, I (along with other colleagues) never felt like our PI cared about us as people, and was only interested in finding out how much progress we had made with our work, and how fast. Additionally, there were some truly volatile characters working within my group, making it so that the interest and motivation I found in my scientific work was no longer worth the toxic work environment.

Pros

Benefits, such as PTO and health, are fantastic.

Cons

A pro and a con are there are rarely set ways to do things. You can pave your own way, but others could be paving a way to the same destination and just creating more paths when it would be better to work together.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We love that you feel the autonomy to pave your own way here, and recognize that also can present its own challenge with duplicating efforts.
