The exposure that people get by working in an institution is amazing. Many renowned scientists and philosophers visit the campus which is a great opportunity for the working people to learn.

Dislikes

The salary package is not up to the standards. The work culture is not good. The higher rank colleague harasses the newcomers. He doesn't know how to talk, always has mood swings, and also shouts at the newcomer.

State of the art facility with excellent research opportunities and Professors

Dislikes

No work life balance. Very less salary. Basically you won't have any life if you're stuck under a wrong Prof. A few Profs are good but do your own research about them and talk to their current students.
