Pros

You get to work with the best of the best. Several opportunities to work on difficult problems and make a significant impact on science and technology. MIT on your resume will guarantee you interview calls, and companies even by-pass some interview rounds to hire you.

Cons

You will be one among the many geniuses in the organization. Unless you are better than a genius, you will have a hard time neing recognized within the organization (receiving recognition outside the organization is much easier and almost guaranteed). If you are not a permanent researcher/faculty, expect poor pay.

Pros

The students and faculty are very intelligent and a real pleasure to work with.

Cons

Administration is very slow and sloppy. Very little respect is given to postdocs.
