Pros

This one of the top places in the world to do research. You can meet amazing people, talented and very smart.

Cons

Competition is fierce. Sometimes you find out about people's behaviors that go beyond healthy competition and just make you question if this represents how science is done nowadays.

Pros

You work with experts from every field possible in science from Mechanobiology to Metallurgy and working as a ML intern along with scientists from different fields gave me a lot of exposure and how to work in a research department.

Cons

One challenge encountered was maintaining a clear focus on training objectives, as the evolving parameters required continuous reassessment of the model's learning priorities. Additionally, the absence of established ground truth for the domain presented a limitation in validating and guiding the approach effectively.
