Pros

The resources provided by the institute are amazing, the IST department is great and really helpful.

Cons

The supervision is super bad, Directors behave like gods and don't like criticism. Also, the international office seems to be racist without any consideration for outsiders.

Freedom to work on your own project. Excellent travel support to attend conference, workshops, visit other institutes. doing research on cutting-edge subjects

Cons

This is a research institute and should not compare with a university environment, students should be faster. The students should work very independently and there is no much help from senior people.
