Great place to learn - Graduate Student MIT Employee Review

Fantastic work-life balance and lots of freebies. Join the sailing program! They teach you for free!

Got hit by the federal cuts. Not their fault but you would think they'd have better savings

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

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.
