Business Outlook
Pros
The people here are great to work with, and the environment is stimulating. There is always a great variety of interesting events going on around campus if you look for them.
Cons
If you're a postdoctoral fellow with your own fellowship funding, you don't get the same benefits as postdoctoral affiliates, who count as employees. Fellows only count as "affiliate" status, which means they end up paying much more for health insurance, the campus gym, and so on. It's unfortunate, and doesn't seem to me to make much sense.
