Pluspunten

A great place to start a research career. A stimulating research environment (of course), brilliant and kind colleagues, good benefits, and a decent salary for a postdoc. In hindsight, although I worked myself to the bone, nobody was monitoring my hours and so I could have had great work-life balance if I'd wanted.

Minpunten

My PIs were so in-demand/overburdened that I didn't get nearly as much 1:1 mentorship as I would have liked. I was also the only full-time researcher on my project, so the work was lonely at times. I'm guessing that is a common experience.

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.
