Pros

You'll encounter endless bright minds that will make MIT one of the more interesting places to work at. Benefits are pretty good too.

Cons

The workplace culture will vary depending on your department. As departments sometime operate as if they're mini companies within the larger company. Once here though, it isn't that hard to adjust.

Pros

Very stimulating intellectual environment. Access to the faculty is great and there are many opportunities for exciting research across all disciplines.

Cons

The work schedule can be grueling. The graduate student stipend is pretty minimal and you won't be saving any money if you live in Cambridge.
