Pros

MIT is a very special place, with a very human and unique culture. It is great to be surrounded by extremely bright and inteligente people while feeling at home and not intimidated.

Cons

As a parent, I'd appreciate not as lengthy day-care placement ( can extend for over 2 years), as well as cheaper day-care rates.

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.
