Svantaggi
The downside of working in academics anywhere is that the compensation is lower (compared to our counterparts in corporations). Also, Emory is big, so depending on where and who you work for, the "message from the top" doesn't always trickle down to those on the front lines. In other words, it's sometimes difficult to understand the vision.
