Pros

The close proximity to some of the leading groups in almost every area of science and engineering cannot be understated. I've had the privilege of working with leaders in mathematics, chemical engineering, and materials science, in very cross-disciplinary work.

Cons

The pressure put on junior faculty to produce research can be at times overwhelming, both for the faculty member and research group members.
