Mentoring is a key component of scientific achievements, contributing tooverall measures of career success for mentees and mentors. A common successmetric in the scientific enterprise is acquiring a large research group, whichis believed to indicate excellent mentorship and high-quality research.However, large, competitive groups might also amplify dropout rates, which arehigh especially among early career researchers. Here, we collect longitudinalgenealogical data on mentor-mentee relations and their publication, and studythe effects of a mentor's group on future academic survival and performance oftheir mentees. We find that mentees trained in large groups generally havebetter academic performance than mentees from small groups, if they continueworking in academia after graduation. However, we also find two surprisingresults: Academic survival rate is significantly lower for (1) mentees fromlarger groups, and for (2) mentees with more productive mentors. These findingsreveal that success of mentors has a negative effect on the academic survivalrate of mentees, raising important questions about the definition of successfulmentorship and providing actionable suggestions concerning career development.

Academic mentees succeed in big groups, but thrive in small groups
