Pluspunten

* at least in my dept. work/life balance was respected * lots of vacation time and many paid holidays including an extra day at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and some years, New Years, too. *interesting people, fascinating science and opportunities to hear lectures * extremely talented people to learn from * fantastic location on the Charles river * gold standard labs and science

Minpunten

* can be very bureaucratic with inside politics * not always great feedback to help guide performance * some labs were lax in following the rules, providing bad examples to others * loss of big picture, focussed on project at hand * campus area can be dangerous at night and early in the morning

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
