Pros

Strong resources and a collaborative culture. Flexible mentorship and the freedom to explore diverse methods and research directions make this an extremely motivating environment to grow as a postdoc and, most importantly, as an independent researcher.

Cons

As a large institution, administrative processes and communication (e.g., contracts, payroll, or related matters) can occasionally be slow.
