Pros
A matching 401k, pension, and lots of time off. It's great to be surrounded by very smart people who are excited about their work. Generally there is a great sense of wanting to include and not a caste style system for faculty and staff.
Cons
Your experience will depend on your manager. Pre pandemic it would have been very difficult or impossible to work from home even one day a week depending on the department you were in. It's difficult to get assistance with career growth. Lots of people who have titles that should be helping with that but in the end they do nothing. I had a mentor who took me out to lunch a few times to discuss my career. He changed roles and never told me soI was just dropped and there was no one to pick up where he left off. That is the main issue - zero follow up.

Pros
Salary (this depends on the role you are in, but for me, I received a $27K increase from my role in higher Ed outside MA), management support (this also depends on who your manager is, but I am very happy with my direct supervisor. You cannot expect that every single manager in the institution is perfect. MIT does offer a lot of training for managers), autonomy (MIT is decentralized so DLC's have a lot of control over their processes- this is however also a con), benefits (their RX benefit is not as good as other places {get your RX's from MIT medical}, but overall their health insurance and other health benefits are great! Great commuter benefits as well)
Cons
MIT is decentralized (this is also a pro, however also a con- DLC's can operate in silos because they have minimal /limited direction from central HR/finance. As a new employee, I have found it it very challenging to get up to speed on MIT policies and procedures, and I am very proactive. I can imagine this is a seemingly impossible task for people who are less proactive and who have a manager who is not as engaging), MIT has A LOT of long standing employees. Many people have told me that MIT is a big family. Many think this is a good thing, however I interpreted it as a potentially bad thing. 'What is they don't accept me into their family?'
