      Pros

      Group Leaders are granted virtually unlimited funds and latitude to make breakthrough discoveries. Brilliant scientists and good people line the trenches.

      Cons

      The Sr. leadership team can't ride a bike without training wheels. The organization has no identity. Their feeble "strategic" direction is purchased from top dollar consulting firms. Steer clear of this failing dictatorship.

      Pros

      Good salary, good benefits, HHMI doesn't bother you much

      Cons

      Your experience is entirely dependent upon the lab you are in - could be a pro or con. This is true for postdoc roles in general.

      Pros

      You're working on contributing to cutting edge & advanced biomedical research with world leaders.

      Cons

      Compensation is regularly divorced from what your workload and scope of responsibilities looks like, and does not scale accordingly.
