Pros

- Internationally recognised Ivy League University - Collaboration with the Hospital and good labs - In NYC

Cons

- Benefits and salaries are terrible - Administration is the worst. Especially for foreigners. Visas don't get renewed in time even before the pandemic happened. People drop off payroll because they haven't been renewed in time either. - "Subsidized" housing for postdocs is actually incredibly expensive.
