Pros

"Drinking from a fire hose" is often used to describe MIT education, but in my opinion that is true of MIT employment as well. Lots of room for personal growth if you are ready to invest your time. Amazing work life balance.

Cons

Employer offers plenty of parking options around the campus. Parking is still expensive, but that is true for any Cambridge location.

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.
