      MIT is a good place to work.

      Pros

      If nothing else it beefs up your resume. They recently made a significant improvement to the employee personal computing website (the only SAPweb system was pretty bad). I've had very positive experiences at MIT medical, the hospital that services the health plan. The benefits are great - health, dental, eyeplan, T-pass.

      Cons

      MIT oddly seems to struggle with handling issues related to computing -- its IT is a bit disorganized, it's unclear how to do simple things like finding servers to run computing jobs, accessing journals on JSTOR has to go through a ridiculous system called VERA that just adds more steps to be able to see papers, and until recently its website for the employee personal information/resources looked like it hadn't been updated in a decade. (It has since been improved with nice results.) These were all things that ran very smoothly at my last university.

      Worst Place Ever to Work

      Pros

      Compensation and benefits are decent. But NOT worth it.

      Cons

      Politics, politics POLITICS. You basically have to be married with kids or male to get any advancement. Very toxic work environment. Depends largely on the department, but I was working in a soul-crushing environment. It didn't matter how well you did your job, but if you make one mistake, hell hath no fury. No real training to speak of. We were expected to know the job on day 1. Management was not receptive to questions. Questions were met by answers of "I'm not going to tell you how to do your job" and "As the (insert job title here), you should know what to do." I wasted 6 years of my life here, and pretty much destroyed all my personal relationships in the process due to emotional/psychological breakdowns.
