Pros

Excellent funding, amazing resources, very collaborative environment. Great place to train. Amazing place for hard-working smart trainees to excel. You can live your dreams...but will work your a** off. Can be an amazing stepping stone to great things.

Cons

Funding endangered by Neanderthal congress. Putting up with the red tape.

Pros

the environment for research is excellent. This is a great place to do research. You can establish collaborations easily and have access to cutting edge technology for research. The OITE is a great resource for postdocs too.

Cons

Some institutes pay postdocs very poorly. The cost of living in this area is very high. Some PIs take a very long time to publish because they don't have any pressure of publishing.
