Pros

Benefits, Free T Pass, unlimited sick time (although don't try to use it), 401k Match, Pension, Medical

Cons

People, Environment, HR, Culture. Young staff that do not know how to handle working with others in an office. Lots of crying to HR (literally). The office frowns on chain of command and encourages people to treat each other on the same level (so much for years of work experience - not needed or appreciated here). Extremely liberal viewpoints exercised in hiring, day to day operations, emails and culture. Protection of snowflakes is a priority, Would not recommend this office to my worst enemy. Stay clear!!

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.
