      Pros

      MIT is home to the world's most cutting edge research across many domains. MIT also provides solid benefits to its employees, including tuition reimbursement if you decide to further your education.

      Cons

      Pay increases can be hard to come by depending on your the sort of position you have and your degree. If you're in a lab with limited funding it can be difficult to make a decent living.

      Pros

      High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

      Cons

      Students and Postdocs are expensive due to high overhead, so unreasonably high productivity is often expected compared to other institutions. PIs are typically stretched very thin. Most departments/labs are very space limited which makes it harder to do safe and productive research.
