Pros

The faculty, staff, and students I work with personally are smart, kind, and hard-working. The working environment is friendly and flexible. The university offers a lot of opportunities for professional development and good benefits.

Cons

Postdocs continue to be underpaid for the value they bring the institution. Also, there is so much red tape and bureaucracy around grant management that it hinders productivity. I have never encountered such a disorganized IRB in my life.
