Pros

Very innovative environment, constantly surrounded by brilliant people and exposed to cutting-edge ideas, fosters entrepreneurial spirit, some labs provide a lot of freedom to explore and pursue your own ideas

Cons

Very intense expectations of grad students, many grad students seem very unhappy and that mood pervades, near complete lack of work-life balance, people often lack communication and interpersonal skills, does not lead to well-rounded skill sets
