      All the great minds you could ask for... but you have to know what questions to ask.

      Pros

      It's a top research institution. You have access to some of the best minds out there. It's also conducive to interdisciplinary research. The location, just outside of NYC, is pretty great - it's perfect for city people (commute by bus) or country people (live in the boonies, commute by car).

      Cons

      Nobody tells anyone anything! There are few written guidelines and lots of ad hoc rules. Formal vacation days are a pretty new thing. Also, dealing with Columbia University itself can be a challenge.
