Pros

Good holiday schedule Big company, so lot's of possible positions to move to Nice people Flexible hours (depending on your position type and supervisor)

Cons

Sometimes very boring work Salary not great Not enough communication and shared tasks between teams Lots of meetings where nothing really happened; would sometimes meet and discuss the same thing with no outcome multiple weeks in a row Not many opportunities for professional development Most things, from salary to tasks were dependent on your supervisor and who you had almost seemed due to chance. They also kept changing up the teams and supervisors

Pros

Access to TMC. Full tuition, travel, books, insurance and editing support. Gym access as well. Great faculty and mentors. Good opportunities for networking and collaboration with other research centers in the area

Cons

It is very expensive to park in the medical center. Student housing has been opened up to anyone in the medical center, so there are long waitlists.
