Pros

Amazing work environment. Very competitive.

Cons

I don't think there is/are any cons here. Just that the postdoc salary isn't good enough for savings which is already a well-known fact.

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.
