      Pros

      Having MIT on your resume adds many potential job opportunities

      Cons

      Sometimes the work expectations can be relentless (despite officially being a 20 hour a week role). Pay is not bad compared to other universities, but you have to work in Cambridge, then everything becomes so expensive.
