Pros

MIT's reputation stands on it's own, but it's really the everyday people who work there that keep it going.

Cons

There are often times when the amount of work to do outpaces the number of people necessary for the job. This means that you may be quite stressed out and feel isolated at times.

Pros

High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

Cons

Students and Postdocs are expensive due to high overhead, so unreasonably high productivity is often expected compared to other institutions. PIs are typically stretched very thin. Most departments/labs are very space limited which makes it harder to do safe and productive research.
