      Pros

      Flexible Schedule and interesting work. It is right in the heart of Cambridge if you are into the city scene. There are also some very smart people who work here so it is a great place to learn for new and young employees.

      Cons

      The organization has a Silo structured organization. Good luck promoting through the ranks if you didn't graduate from one of the Elite universities, in particular, MIT.

      Pros

      As a Draper Fellow, I'm getting my full tuition for 5+ years of a PhD program as well as my salary paid by Draper. They have bought me $50k+ worth of state of the art equipment and allow me lots of flexibility as a grad student.

      Cons

      The bureaucracy can slow things down tremendously. Everything takes time when some National Security projects are (unsurprisingly) given preference over that of a grad student.

      Pros

      Worked in the Microfabrication group. They spend money on new tools and have an excellent group of technologists developing novel products across a number of industries.

      Cons

      Some management personnel are not well equipped to lead both human & equipment resources. Lots of PhD employees are not great leaders.
