Pros

Great place to do serious multi-disciplinary research. Excellent facilities, renowned faculty and competent technical staff. People all around are willing to help acheive your research goals.

Cons

People take long vacations or out of office for extended period of time. I have seen people leave as early as 3.30 pm! Too many rules and regulations to follow while doing research. Parking rules are outrageous .
