      Lab tech at MIT

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      MIT is a great place to work; people are all around top-notch, work hard mentality but also a lot of freedom. We get a lot of vacation, and I even get $5,000+ a year to spend on tuition which I use at Harvard Extension School. I also took a bioengineering class through MIT's Advanced Study Program for free. There's always some sort of education/social event going on (free food!). They also subsidize your T pass over 50%, so my commute costs me only $35/month.

      Cons

      Only thing is that the pay is pretty low. Other than that I can't think of any cons.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The flexibility in the workplace is great The peer group is unbelievably smart Everyone is very helpful and professional The network of students as well as alumni is unmatched due to the variety of companies they are at. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Founded in 1861 in response to the increasing industrialization of the United States, MIT adopted a European polytechnic university model and stressed laboratory instruction in applied science and engineering. Researchers worked on computers, radar, and inertial guidance during World War II and the Cold War. Post-war defense research contributed to the rapid expansion of the faculty and campus under James Killian. The current 168-acre (68.0 ha) campus opened in 1916 and extends over 1 mile (1.6 km) along the northern bank of the Charles River basin.

      Cons

      There is a poor work life balance Everyone works all the time, which pushes you, but can be monotonous at times The weather in the city can be pretty bad during winters

      Poorly managed School of Management - Executive Education

      Program manager, executive education, sloan
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart and experienced professors (mostly), ability to meet top company executives from major corporations, fun to visit different discussions held throughout campus.

      Cons

      Very high turnover. Selectively updating the department at meeting that their program was running well while skipping over poor reviews and never fixing problems because no one talks about them. No room for growth with managers holding a solid line between workers and advancement.
