Pros

Very flexible work schedule, great benefits, perks, work life balance and sense of community, include special interests groups. Even though it's a large place to work, everyone seems to know each other.

Cons

Often very little support or training, highly political and no room for growth on the administrative side. The pay does not match the benefits and they do not promote based on education.

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.
