Pros

Great science happening everywhere here! It's known for some of the greatest contributions to science in the world. For a postdoc, there are many opportunities for collaboration.

Cons

High institutional overhead cost at the lab when you apply for funding, so a lot of your grant money doesn't really go to your science. Pay for postdocs is low, even though they are the workhorses of the labs.
