Pros

Many different departments to work in, and you can move up. Great staff and the students are very nice. Location is good, and the view of the CHarles River is beautiful.

Cons

You need a lot of experience in order to move up, so it takes awhile. The commute is terrible if you live out of the city.

Pros

High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

Cons

Students and Postdocs are expensive due to high overhead, so unreasonably high productivity is often expected compared to other institutions. PIs are typically stretched very thin. Most departments/labs are very space limited which makes it harder to do safe and productive research.
