Business Outlook
Pros
- Great place to be trained at forefront of science and do cutting edge research. - Great OITE (Office of Intramural Training and Education) - trainees must get involved with them as soon as possible. They provide valuable career advice that one will not find working in the lab while only doing research.
Cons
- A lot depends on the PI whose lab you are in. One has to be selective in choosing a mentor and a lab. There are labs where one can thrive and there are labs where one can waste its time and efforts due to PI's poor mentorship skills. - Although it is a great place to be innovative and develop new ideas, there are a lot of obstacles and too much politics involved for post-docs to patent their inventions.
