MIT reviews about "work environment"

none that i can think of

No real upward mobility. Promotions are often discussed but rarely materialize. Pay is below industry standards, and many employees are primarily assigned repetitive grunt work with limited opportunities for growth or skill development. Additionally, some individuals in management positions are unnecessarily rude and unprofessional, which contributes to a negative work environment.

Funding uncertainty has put people on edge. Working for a non-profit means salary isn't up to private sector levels.

I loved it! It is what you make of it but do the due diligence to check how the work environment at the lab you are applying is

Depends on the department and supervisor

Funding not guaranteed after second year. Very competitive environment.

Current federal funding hurts MIT staffing

Varies depending on the lab

Some P.I.s can be too busy with their companies, outside involvements (speaking arrangements, book deals, etc.), and departmental responsibilities to have time to properly mentor their graduate students.
