Pros

+Working with some of the smartest people on the planet. +Daily inspiration on the homepage: fix the planet? Yes! Cure disease? Yes! Make cool stuff? Absolutely! +Helpful and reliable staff. +Location, location, location.

Cons

∆Too much comes at us on a regular basis: like what's said about an MIT education - drinking through a firehose. Hard to keep up with. ∆Less transparency in HR practices than desired. ∆Some internal systems are outdated or don't function optimally. ∆Policies and procedures vary by department. ∆Some efforts to make change at the Institute result in drastic change to culture.

Pros

Endless opportunities for networking, scientific education and access to innovation. A flexible work environment, allowing good work-life balance. MIT affiliation opens up opportunities outside the institute.

Cons

Collaboration is minimal. An intense research environment. Many people are unhappy. Nature of work is very unexpected and PI dependent.
