Pros

Prestige, prestige, prestige, location (if you like winter), lots of intelligent people, lots of great talks and dinners, and the students, undergraduates and gradutes, are wonderful.

Cons

Terrible management, terrible decision-making, terrible money management, completely demoralizing, people are unappreciated, work very, very hard with no recognition, all are treated poorly except faculty. The place is saturated with arrogant people who have little compassion for non-tenured people.

Pros

You work with experts from every field possible in science from Mechanobiology to Metallurgy and working as a ML intern along with scientists from different fields gave me a lot of exposure and how to work in a research department.

Cons

One challenge encountered was maintaining a clear focus on training objectives, as the evolving parameters required continuous reassessment of the model's learning priorities. Additionally, the absence of established ground truth for the domain presented a limitation in validating and guiding the approach effectively.
