Pros

Motivated team, anything asked get done very fast. They added 4-5 paid holidays between Christmas and NYE, this has been very helpful

Cons

Your peers can work very hard and taking vacations is not encouraged. Low salary for Boston, can't afford rent by myself.

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.
