Pros

Great exposure to great and brilliant people. There is a huge sense of empowerment here, so people feel really motivated to accomplish some pretty amazing things. Everyone here is excited about research and innovation, and it certainly provides a motivating atmosphere here. Over the past 4 years here as a grad student, I have noticed that upper administration is more strongly promoting well-roundedness.

Cons

Really competitive, for the most part. People will generally help you out, but not as much as you'd like. There's certainly a culture of working until you drop and bragging about your work loads, even though almost everyone here is equally busy.
