      tremendously intellectually fulfilling, but grueling and extremely demanding

      Pros

      If you enjoy the opportunity of working with some of the brightest minds in the world, both faculty and students, as well as investigating a field of interest that you have chosen and developed yourself, you will love working at MIT.

      Cons

      If you enjoy strict working hours, and highly defined responsibilities, and a lot of team projects then MIT may not be the place for you. It's for self-directed, highly motivated, highly autonomous people. Boston is an extremely expensive city and it's mostly suburban, so be prepared for a commute.

      Amazing place to be

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This is an amazing place with some of the best peers and colaborators in the world. MIT has strong ties to many people and sectors so finding a network to support a new project or idea is easy. The hours are often flexible.

      Cons

      There is a strong culture of always needing to do better and a sense that what one produces is never as good as it should be.
