Pros

Good coworkers, mission and leadership. Pension! Healthcare & dental care on campus.

Cons

No bonuses, only 3% cost of living increase per year (assuming you've done well). Have not received a raise in 8 years. Rigid categories set by the institute seemingly prevent the different departments from giving raises as the departments see fit.

Pros

High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

Cons

Students and Postdocs are expensive due to high overhead, so unreasonably high productivity is often expected compared to other institutions. PIs are typically stretched very thin. Most departments/labs are very space limited which makes it harder to do safe and productive research.
