Pros

great benefits, coworkers, and intellectual environment

Cons

the compensation is almost entirely based on seniority/experience, so if you are early in your career and a high performer, your compensation isn't going to reflect your merit

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.
