Pros

its a great research institutation. i feel like i'm pat of a team, but I get to work alone, all by myself with my brilliance. (haha). the reseach you do is based on quality, not quantity. (unlike some other forums.) FYI: ction is about getting grounded in AI by reading. It points at the most important journals and has some tips on how to read. is about becoming a member of the AI community: getting connected to a network of people who will keep you up to date on what's happening and what you need to read. is about learning about fields

Cons

Pros

the pool of the students, the seminar speakers and researchers who visit on a regularly basis can be a foster for new ideas. At other institutions one may not get such close contact. The faculty members are also leaders in their fields.

Cons

some labs can be competitive

Pros

Academic vivacity. Collegial and intellectual enthusiasm. Good benefits. Strong job security.

Cons

Paucity of management and leadership skills. Isolated clusters of power, based on ego and attention for central funding, compounded by a lack of hierarchical conflict resolution. Singular focus on academic leadership and research dollars, with little awareness or support of administrative and business infrastructure.
