Pros

Students can be good, but tend to be a double edged sword. If people are going into higher-education, they typically *want* to be there, so you’ll see a lot of passion. Until they burn out and enter a different field.

Cons

As stated, students can be a double edged sword - they will not budge if they don’t get their way. Little support from upper administration, student/employee retention isn’t their priority. Offices very siloed, difficult to communicate across campus. Very anti-union, so there isn’t a lot of support.

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.
