Vantaggi

Relaxed environment and good people.

Svantaggi

Too relaxed. You can spend years there without making any progress. Advisors who do not have the capacity to take on students do so anyway and either end up dropping them because they don't have the time or just let them spin their wheels forever. Also, you don't find a research topic nor actually start doing research until year 2.

Vantaggi

They were very flexible with hours and it was a fun place to work. There was lots of downtime to do other things while on the clock, and an e-bike to get around campus quickly.

Svantaggi

Toward the end they got pretty strict about keeping your computer on a certain tab to take online tickets, and you could get in trouble for not doing it. It’s tedious work overall.

Vantaggi

flexibility. I'm on a fellowship I won with a great advisor. It is not so good for others.

Svantaggi

An inherently liminal position with severely reduced benefits.
