Pros

It was fun, I learned a lot the faculty were great. Everyone had a lot of fun and its cheap to work there and what not

Cons

It is research which isn't that cool I'd rather have worked in industry. Also I stayed on campus all summer which is kind of boring.

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.
