Advisor Style & Mentorship The professor does not have regular meeting with students and there is no regular group meeting. The ideas that professor provide during the meeting are not quite helpful. The only thing that professor will do is to ask where your paper is when the deadline is approaching.
Expectations for PhD Students 6+ top tier conference paper + 3 top tier journals. However, even if you reach the expectation, he will say that some of your publications are not coherent to your thesis so they won't count. It usually takes 7+ yrs to graduate. See how many student quite from the lab website.
Funding & Support When I was in the lab, the funding was OK. However, from my understanding of the current students, the lab is running out of funding now and all students have to find TA mostly every quarter. Also, the professor tends to ask student not to spend much time on industrial project, as long as he gets the money.
Research The research direction in the lab is quite diverse. Not much collaboration between students. No long term collaboration between industry. Lots of limitation for doing an internship in industry.
Lab Culture Students complain the lab under the table, but acting OK in the public.
As an alumni, I don't recommend the lab. Luckly, I am not in the lab now :)

科研经费: 老师现在基本没钱,所有学生都在当助教,而且每学期都得当。有些学生有跟业界合作,但是老师的态度就是拿钱应付应付就好,重点是要发顶会。跟业界合作案也不多,大概是公司合作一次就怕了吧
学生补助: 没有学生补助,连州外学生费都要自己付。而且实验室没钱,还要自己找TA
师生关系: 学生多数敢怒不敢言,毕竟他是CV大老。
工作时间: 又要TA又要发顶会,压力非常大,几乎除了睡觉都在工作
就业前景: 能毕业的学长姐工作都不错,但是能毕业的不多。看看实验室网站,master out的人非常多。
毕业条件: 6+篇顶会 和 3篇顶刊,多数人都答不到,所以都拖7-8年才毕业 老师在你毕业的时候还会东嫌西嫌,如果有论文不coherent还会不算
总结: 非常不推 特别是已经有master的人 请再三深思 除非你想饿肚子 做科研
