Pros

The culture is very diverse and the benefits are exceptional. The intelligence and skills of the professors, etc. are immense. As one of the leading universities in the world, there is so much to learn as an employee. Great opportunity to experience a learning machine at its best.

Cons

The gap between hourly and salary employees is immense and difficult to change. The 'professionals' have many great perks, and the hourly employees have little.

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.
