      Pros

      This is a place where you could learn something new when you have no idea what to do next for your career.

      Cons

      Rigid school policies constrained the development spaces for people in this school. Only a few people are serious about their jobs, most of people are here to kill time.

      Pros

      Members of some faculties are very good researcher in their field so you can work in reputable labs. Average compensation but good health care package including vision and dental. You can use the facilities of Boston Medical Center. Tuition remission is available for yourself or the family of the employee If you are international, they can apply J1/H1 visa for oyu. Pretty effective International SCholar Office. Very good location.

      Cons

      Research Associates are supported by the grants so it's a contractual job. You have to write your own grants to work here continuously otherwise it's a short-term (1-3 years) position. Parking is very expensive, commuting on green line can be dreadful.
