Pros

Work with smart and hard working individuals. Access to best resources available and abundant professional opportunities. The scientific environment of Boston is hard to match, perhaps San Francisco comes second close.

Cons

The environment in my lab is pretty bad. Everyone is overworked and stressed because our PI is extremely demanding every once in a while someone "falls through the cracks". I have worked before in environments where the standard is high, but the PI was relaxed. That makes a whole difference.
