      MIT Graduate Student - Mechanical Engineering

      Graduate student researcher
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The reputation of MIT is a huge help in securing offers for jobs and internships. Out of the blue, I receive on average one interested offer per month. The opportunities for research are extremely diverse. MIT's resources are almost unlimited, with venture capital firms constantly hovering around waiting to give funding to research groups. Funding is not a problem at all at MIT, there are plenty of sources, especially for research projects related to energy.

      Cons

      The workload is very demanding. I did my undergrad at MIT, and expected at least some bit of reprieve from long nights of work. This did not exactly happen; I am still working many evenings per week to keep up with research and classes.

      MIT Media Lab is a great place to work

      Undergraduate researcher - urop

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The Media Lab has a great collection of people who are all interested in applying new technology to real world problems.

      Cons

      The downside of being a UROP at the Media Lab is that you get very little pay, but it is still well worth it to work at such an interesting place.
