Pros

Fantastic work environment within the Plasma Science and Fusion Center. As a relatively junior engineer I was given a lot of responsibility while also receiving excellent mentorship. All of the people there are incredibly humble, helpful, and intelligent. I was able to absorb what felt like a decade of knowledge after only a few years, led major projects, and published as first author on multiple papers.

Cons

Nothing bad to speak of

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.
