      Pros

      Interesting colleagues, work can be challenging and fun. There's lot of cutting edge work going on around campus and access to lectures and other activities is enriching.

      Cons

      Departments and offices are inconsistently run, depending on your supervisor you can have a great experience or an awful one. There's no attempt to set institutional standards around supervision or performance management. The human resources department doesn't intervene, even when situations become so severe that legal action is involved.

      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.
