Colleagues are dedicated to the mission of advancing knowledge and making sure their research has societal impacts. There is a lot of inspiring work going on around you.

Cons

Often seemed like there were too many administrators. There were major mistakes made with my onboarding, which required a lot of resources to fix and caused me substantial stress.

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.
