Pros

It offers an academic environment with huge community of researchers and investigators. Got opportunity to mange and analyze data with millions of records of cancer patients which would not be available elsewhere. Inferential statistics which yield new methodologies and new solutions. I developed a new method for early detection of acute kidney injury among cancer patient with creatinine as bio-marker.

Cons

Based on the huge size and diverse nature of various departments, HR department works like postoffice and local managers tend to hire like minded people.

Pros

Its mission to cure cancer is great. The research in some labs is groundbreaking.

Cons

There are hand few departments that do weird hiring of people of a specific demographic only (not mentioning which). Most PI s are of that said demographic. And some labs on this department don’t hire people within the US who are truly deserving just because they must hire people from that said demographic from that country. The Chair and Professors openly communicate in non English. So for any other demographic it is hard to secure employment, hard to understand what is being said. One PI forces their ethnic culture on lab members and can ruin your life if you don’t play along. Very little time is spent by some Professors doing research. They mostly write grants and create some preliminary results for a work to write more grants. Even in funding shortage times a lot of research allocated money is spent by some PIs to unnecessarily travel to international conferences frequently making it paid vacations which ideally are suposed academic endeavors. Oncologists have less attitude than the dry lab scientists often.
