Pros

Access to many resources and opportunities for personal career advancement. Great place to experience biotech industry while working in a research-focused environment. Great people, great science, and a supportive atmosphere. Free t-shirts are given out at parties and special occasions throughout the year.

Cons

The postdoc program is only 4 years (sometimes they allow a 5th year if you have a substantial reason such as finishing a manuscript) and this adds a time pressure to your research.

Pros

This is a great place to do research as a postdoc and to get exposure to high quality science and how it's connected to therapeutic development.

Cons

As a postdoc, it is critical to work with a mentor that will provide guidance for working on a project that can be published, something that can be difficult depending on where you work.
