      Pros

      The close proximity to some of the leading groups in almost every area of science and engineering cannot be understated. I've had the privilege of working with leaders in mathematics, chemical engineering, and materials science, in very cross-disciplinary work.

      Cons

      The pressure put on junior faculty to produce research can be at times overwhelming, both for the faculty member and research group members.

      Pros

      * at least in my dept. work/life balance was respected * lots of vacation time and many paid holidays including an extra day at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and some years, New Years, too. *interesting people, fascinating science and opportunities to hear lectures * extremely talented people to learn from * fantastic location on the Charles river * gold standard labs and science

      Cons

      * can be very bureaucratic with inside politics * not always great feedback to help guide performance * some labs were lax in following the rules, providing bad examples to others * loss of big picture, focussed on project at hand * campus area can be dangerous at night and early in the morning
