      Great Institute, top talent and first class technology.

      Pros

      Flexible schedules, respect for ideas that are efficient, reliable, or scale-able. Great, highly technical hands-on management in many areas of IT. Opportunity to learn about and implement cutting edge technologies on many facets of IT: network, server/infrastructure, cloud platforms, & storage/virtualization. An enterprise that runs like you would imagine a school of engineers would. Very little bureaucracy in the Information Systems & Technology area.

      Cons

      Very few, but a re-org is changing the shape of the IT department (for the better if Agile methodologies are fully implemented) and there are some frustrations as the occurs. Pay is great for higher-education, but still below private/corporate rates.

      Pros

      Independence and creativity is highly valued. Endless opportunities for networking and expanding skills and education. Great benefits. Outstanding and inspirational community.

      Cons

      Not so good pay for junior positions. Slow hierarchical climbing. Not a great place for people expecting highly structured working space.

      Good, but they think that they're better than they are.

      Pros

      There's a lot of pride in the community at MIT, and a lot of freedom as well.

      Cons

      Leadership tends to be "pale, male, and stale." While there are opportunities for advancement, these usually don't come with adequate salary increases. It's one of MIT's worst kept secrets that you can only reasonably expect 1-3% annual raises, despite quality of the work done and increased job responsibilities; and worse, most promotions only generate a 10% increase in pay.
