Pros

When you work at Northeastern you have the opportunity to get a free education, which truly is worth it. The faculty is comprised of some of the most incredible individuals from which I have had the pleasure to receive instruction. I also found that I had good work/life balance being that I was not expected to stay over time and was very rarely contacted outside of the office for work matters.

Cons

The culture is quite nasty and people are generally unfriendly. I worked under some of the all time worst superiors I have ever had in my professional life. It wasn't until I was near the end of my time at Northeastern that I finally transitioned to support a truly remarkable leader at the University.

Pros

As always, the quality of a postdoc is very related to the quality of your supervisor and team, but Northeastern has good facilities and a vibrant research community.

Cons

The university is large so sometimes the administration can feel impersonal.
