Pros
I worked in a lab in which the advisor is very hands off and allows independent exploration. The lab is doing incredible work in areas with high impact (autism, visual impairment) and the advisor does a great job finding applications for research. Very friendly lab, fun people who care about life as well as work.
Cons
Academia obviously does not compensate as much as industry. Experiences are very lab-dependent, so others may have not had such positive experiences.
