Pros

Good benefits. Decent work/life balance. "You are as busy as you want to be". Good pension and post-retirement benefits (if you make it). Excellent brand.

Cons

Faculty rule. Professors don't make good Administrators. Average salaries. Anemic raises (2.5%-4%/ year). Second largest endowment and stock market returns in the area (Harvard is first) don't trickle down to employees. Inconsistent WFH policies (do as I say not as I do). Managers side with PIs over staff. All credit/recognition is focused on them rather than their team who really do the work.

Pros

The management is horrible. I do not want to say what department I work in as I might be targeted. But MIT does not pay their employees well.

Cons

The management and pay is terrible.

Pros

Benefits package is good. Otherwise it’s a soul-sucking abyss of inhumane misery.

Cons

Abusive and gaslighting environment from management and HR.
