Pros

Interesting colleagues, work can be challenging and fun. There's lot of cutting edge work going on around campus and access to lectures and other activities is enriching.

Cons

Departments and offices are inconsistently run, depending on your supervisor you can have a great experience or an awful one. There's no attempt to set institutional standards around supervision or performance management. The human resources department doesn't intervene, even when situations become so severe that legal action is involved.

Pros

MIT is very flexible. There is a strong work/life balance. The students are amazing and that's what keeps me here. They strive to make the world a better place. That makes it worth it.

Cons

MIT demands a lot from its staff. It's easy to get burnt out here. In addition to that, annual salary increases don't follow cost of living increases, and aren't guaranteed. It means that new hires typically make more than people that have been working here for years. The pay scale increases disproportionately to cost of living salary increases.
