      Pros

      Great colleagues that are always willing to help out and provide advice. Freedom to pursue own research interests (if adviser lets you) Lots of resources when needed, never felt constraint by lack of resources

      Cons

      Hours can be long and unpredictable. Actual situation very dependent on research advisers. Some infrastructure (office and lab-space out-dated).
