Smartest people in their fields are hired, some stay entire career, and have opportunity for international reputation building. Your collaborators will be amazing.

Cons

"Soft money" funding means everyone is scrambling for funding support for their research programs. People who are not number one or who are not lucky may not be able to contribute all that could be available from them.
