Pros
In IST, your research direction can be very versatile. Totally depending on the type of your advisor, you'll feel either very pushed or very free to do your research here. Personally, I find myself really enjoying this work atmosphere - flexible hours, get timely and good-quality feedback on whatever I produce, have lots of excellent collaborators.
Cons
It's a small village here; you have to find your ways to get involved in activities. Pay is also very little, although the consumption level is also low (e.g. most apartment rentals cost less than $500/mo)
