Pros

It's a prestigious scientific institution, with lots of resources to do great science

Cons

Base post doc salary with no experience is 50K, which does not really defray the high cost of living in New York. The rent even in the subsidized housing will still be half your monthly salary. You also have to pay federal, state and city taxes. We also get no health saving accounts, no retirement benefits and no commuter account, though health insurance is included

Pros

A lot of people to work with and a great amount of exposure to different in-house counsel areas. If you are proactive, there are plenty of people willing to try and meet with you and explain things, though their time is limited. If you can pick at their brains, the Attorneys of the smartest and most hard-working individuals you'll meet. They have some fun events and team-bonding,

Cons

Lack of diversity in interns, which make fit and experience difficult. Even upon meeting diverse staff and people, there always seems to be a barrier and front. Attorneys generally have little time to teach you, but they do their best. Compensation is lackluster, but benefits and events are fun. Sometimes work can lag, and you must be proactive in seeking it out for yourself.
