Pros

Very good benefits, and a lot of freedom to pursue your work and build professional connections. There is a lot going on at different parts of the institute and MIT can provide a good launching pad for a research career.

Cons

MIT is large and there is a lot going on. It is easy to feel lost or isolated, especially if your work is independent and you don't have much supervision. Human Resources can be very bureaucratic and any adminstrative problems with salary, benefits, etc. can be tricky to fix.

Pros

It's good to work with students (faculty, colleagues) who are smart and focused and energetic. Engineers are often pleasantly odd people.

Cons

At the far end of odd, people can be inflexible and misfocused. Tolerance for strange behavior can shade into a failure to enforce any kind of norms.
