Too competitive

Pros

- access to good resources

Cons

- internal competition. I worked in two labs there and neither one of them felt like a team. In fact, in my first lab, the more senior research assistant did not want to train me because she felt threatened that I would be assigned work that would get me a publication, and she wanted it instead. - I spoke to my first boss about the issue (above) and she did nothing. And my boss in my second lab thought that "motivation" was to belittle someone, and that would get them to work harder... Didn't work.
