MIT reviews

MIT is decentralized. One upside is that if you don't like the culture in a particular department, you can always wait until a job elsewhere opens up and move there. MIT offers a pension - which is HUGE - since very few places offer this benefit any more. I feel like I've had the opportunity to really learn and grow at MIT. I've had several really good managers who have valued my work and recommendations.

The lab I work at has a collaborative, open culture that allows undergraduates to meaningfully contribute to research even as they are being trained.
