Pros

Best investigative research in the industry. Lots of autonomy. Lots of support if you get the right supervisor, can be a disaster if you don't.

Cons

Work/life balance is a myth and a dream. Extremely intense expectations. It's worth it because the outcomes are top-notch, but it's a lot of inputs.
