Pros

At MIT you get a unique opportunity to work with or just be around and get a chance to get to know some of the greates minds in almost every field: engineering, life sciences, business, computer and material sciences, etc. In addition, there are a lot of activities that stimulate both professional and personal growth.

Cons

Very competitive and hence might be some difficulties in establishing collaborations.

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.
