      A good place to work as a poorly paid post doc if you are self motivated. With the right mentor, once can achieve a lot. - Post Doctoral Associate MIT Employee Review

      Pros

      Excellent reputation for research, great labs, great collaboration possible with several institutions, hospitals nearby, good resources for starting up a company out of a lab.,

      Cons

      High cost of renting. Very poor pay for post docs but probably the same as most universities. But extremely poor pay to living cost ratio makes life much harder.
