Business outlook
Pros
World-class research resources and collaborators; strong intellectual environment; access to cutting-edge facilities and seminars; high autonomy and opportunities to publish and build a strong network.
Cons
Mentorship quality varies significantly across groups; workload and expectations can be unpredictable; administrative processes can be slow; work-life balance depends heavily on the PI/lab culture rather than institute-wide norms.
