Pros

It is so far one of the best research centers I've been. It has by far the most cutting-edge technology, incredibly talented PIs, as well as other peers and PhD students, good for networking and they also provide nice trainings and courses to develop news skills.

Cons

Work-life balance is not the best. The prevailing work culture here appears to normalize extended working hours and frequent weekend presence.
