      Student Services area within MIT

      Associate director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great students, faculty and staff to work with, a very talented but unaffected group of people for the most part. This is a community of people who like to solve problems. Students are quick learners, and that is true with practical and professional skills as well as with intellectual skills.

      Cons

      If you want to work with students from a broader liberal arts background, there is a relatively small proportion of students majoring in those fields here. This is primarily a STEM community. I thought initially that could be a problem for me, but it has not been at all. Liberal arts skills are in evidence in electives and in student activities, and the students are great.

      Inspiring; confining

      Human resources consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fabulously stimulating place to work and to be. Adventurous, willing to take chances. Very good benefits (although that has eroded some with the changes in the US economy).

      Cons

      On the administrative side, you can take chances but risk losing trust and access if anything goes wrong. Extreme stratification in wealth, increasingly reflecting US and world economy. Raises at senior level can approach 20% a year while 3% is allocated for rest. The usual, "We're adults; employees act like children" attitude among senior managers -- although management teams are often the most infantile in how they conduct themselves.

      Be careful before accepting

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits, nice environment, very convenient. They offer 50% public transportation. There are medical facilities onsite. Interesting groups to join.

      Cons

      The pay is not what one would expect from an institution that has world-wide recognition. There are elements of the job that go far above and beyond what can be considered reasonable. There is a reluctance to support staff when a faculty member misbehaves.
