Pros

- Internationally recognised Ivy League University - Collaboration with the Hospital and good labs - In NYC

Cons

- Benefits and salaries are terrible - Administration is the worst. Especially for foreigners. Visas don't get renewed in time even before the pandemic happened. People drop off payroll because they haven't been renewed in time either. - "Subsidized" housing for postdocs is actually incredibly expensive.

Pros

The work when I had it was amazing, I really appreciated it for what it gave me.

Cons

Unfortunately, with the change in management came zero transparency and rules for thee, not for me. It's led to really weird decisions.
