Avantages

Great resources. You get to work with smart people. Fast-paced environment. Great opportunities for growth and career development. Highly competitive environment, you're motivated to be the best.

Inconvénients

Lots of workplace bullies. Highly competitive environment, people will do anything to get ahead. ZERO work-life balance. Very long work hours. Your PI may expect you to be in the lab 24/7 and will call you on evenings and weekends. You will be pushed very hard to produce impactful and "significant" research. You will have very little time to actually invest deep thought into what you're doing. Ironically, this culture compromises the quality of the science significantly even though you are regularly working 80 hours a week.

Avantages

High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

Inconvénients

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.
